Something really big is happening to humanity here. While the technology is being built by a small number of people, we need to make it work for ever… - Dario Amodei

There are many valid disagreements to be had on safety. We certainly had some of those disagreements with them, but that alone is not sufficient to leave. When you feel that you can't trust someone, when you feel that their values are not what they say they are, when you feel that they're not honest — that makes it very hard to continue to work with a company, to continue to trust the company. At the end of the day, why argue with someone when you don't have the same vision and you don't trust them? The way to resolve it is: you go off and do your thing, they go off and do their thing.

I would guess that the software industry gets not smaller, although there will be some big losers — those who don't see what's coming, who don't identify the moats they have.

If you pick a business model that fundamentally conflicts with your values, you're going to have a hard time. Either you betray your own values, or you become irrelevant.
