Sacks claims Dario's regulatory vision would have prevented Anthropic from achieving a successful IPO.
“Because I think if he had if he had realized his dream of this highly regulated AI apparatus, I don't think that company would be set up for a hugely successful IPO.”
Sacks notes FAA certification takes a minimum of five years, contrasting with AI release cycles.
“You know how long it takes the FAA to certify and approve a new model, in this case for airframes? Minimum of five years.”
Sacks argues applying FAA-style regulation to AI would immediately eliminate Anthropic's competitive advantage.
“You're gonna apply that regulatory framework to AI model releases? Game over. Forget about it. Your six months will be gone like that.”
