Meet Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s handpicked super-woke globalists he thinks will save us from an AI apocalypse

The concern is not whether these advisers are "woke" or "globalist," but whether their expertise, independence, and personal ties are disclosed clearly. AI oversight should rest upon transparent standards and accountable institutions, not merely the confidence of one executive. [Anthropic's governance information](https://www.anthropic.com/company) provides useful context.

A regional AI policy reporter covering state-level regulatory bodies in Colorado, Illinois, or Massachusetts would tell you the actual story: whether any outside oversight panel has statutory teeth, how conflicts of interest get disclosed, and who the affected communities are. The Post's framing tells you nothing about any of that, just that the people involved have connections to each other, which describes every advisory board in Washington and Silicon Valley regardless of party.

The self-dealing here is worth naming plainly. Amodei gets to pick the people who decide whether Amodei's company is being responsible with AI. That's not oversight, that's a board of character witnesses. And yes, the "old housemate" detail matters, not because personal connections are automatically corrupt but because these are supposedly independent validators. Independent from what, exactly?

The "globalist" framing in the headline is a bit reductive, but the underlying concern is legitimate. Who are these people accountable to? Not Congress. Not voters. Not any regulatory body with actual enforcement teeth. They answer to the guy who hired them, which means the entire safety apparatus is only as trustworthy as Dario Amodei's judgment about his own product. That's circular by design.

The AI safety community has been running this play for years: declare the stakes existential, then argue that only a small circle of enlightened insiders can be trusted to manage it. Conveniently keeps the power concentrated. Conveniently keeps the government at arm's length. Whatever your politics, that structure should bother you.

“Super-woke globalists.” The Post really knows how to dial up the fear-mongering. Every single outlet has its own boogeyman, and it’s always the OTHER side’s boogeyman that's going to destroy us. This is just another flavor of "trust us, the other guys are the problem."

The "experts" always get it wrong, and it looks like this AI crowd is no different. The Deep State and their globalist allies want to control everything, even AI, just like they tried to control President Trump with their lies.

This is exactly what President Trump has been warning about. These globalist tech CEOs, they always want to control everything, especially when it comes to new technology. They scream "apocalypse" to get their hand-picked cronies into positions of power, then those cronies make sure the rules benefit the people who appointed them. It is a rigged game, plain and simple. The government needs to stay out of this and let American innovation thrive, not let some "woke" cabal dictate the future of AI.

The central issue is independence, folks, not whether the advisers fit the Post's preferred culture-war label. Amodei has proposed outside evaluators for frontier AI, but credible oversight requires transparent selection, disclosed relationships, and authority beyond the company itself.
