Looking at the comments on Spotify and YouTube, and I cannot understand how anyone is calling Dwarkesh a good interviewer. I had never heard of him, but his questions are very unclear, and his pushback is so wrong as to be cringey to me. I have no idea how Dwarkesh gets such big names, but he clearly has no idea what he’s talking about and is just spouting things he saw on twitter or X. I work in big tech, and I can tell you, Dario is exactly right in everything he is saying. If you get someone like Dario, you should try to listen, instead of asked some twisted question that barely makes sense, or telling the guy basically that he’s lying. Dwarkesh seems convinced here that Dario is just a marketer. Guy, Dario started and is heading the most transformative company in history. Listen to what he’s saying. He’s not making this shit up. Like he says: the economic pressure on them to 10x is so massive that there is no time for faking it. Faking it will get you to 1 billion ARR, sure. But it will not get you to a sustainable 100 billion arr, which Anthropic will hit in the next year. Or to a 1.2 trillion dollar valuation. That only comes from these companies seeing real results. And from analysts that are seeing real results. Dwarkesh just comes off as someone who’s living online and not in the real world and instead of listening is giving pushback based on clickbait articles he saw that are critical of AI. Some solid examples are his pushback of diffusion. It’s clearly the case that a new model comes, and it takes time to propagate through the economy. It’s an elegant way of viewing things. A new model has new capabilities and now the number of industries and jobs it disrupts is raised. But it can take years for those changes to propagate through the market. But that propagation time will get faster and faster as we change towards an AI economy. Another is the pushback on “I haven’t seen any new features”. Like wtf? Really? Have you created a PowerPoint in the past few months? It’s like magic. And also: big tech companies are NOT investing in UIs!!! UIs for business applications are old technology. They are investing in mvp servers to replace the UI so you don’t need a human interacting with it, but other AIs. This is happening at breakneck speed, but takes time. Likely another year to see massive changes because of… diffusion!!! I just had to rant a bit here as Dwarkesh just seems to uninformed and then unable to listen or at times even ask a question that makes sense. And yet, I know many on this sub also have Dwarkeshes view point on AI and would give similar pushback. Guys, Dario is definitively not just a sales man. This shit works. Dario knows what he’s talking about. He’s one of the most informed people on the planet in this area. Listen to him. He comes on to want people, and is basically told he’s a liar.
