He called effective altruism 'super toxic' and labeled Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 'deluded' and 'crazy,' alleging Amodei is closer to the EA movement than he admits through family ties to Open Philanthropy's Holden Karnofsky. LeCun said doom talk from Amodei and Sam Altman amounts to the 'worst marketing campaign' imaginable and argued the bigger risk is regulatory capture by dominant AI labs, not extinction. He also discussed his new venture, AMI Labs, which builds JEPA-based world models focused on industrial applications. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Yann LeCun told Fortune he believes Dario Amodei is 'completely deluded' about his distance from effective altruism, despite Amodei's denials. LeCun pointed to the fact that Holden Karnofsky, co-founder of Open Philanthropy (now Coefficient Giving), is married to Daniela Amodei, Anthropic's president and co-founder, suggesting closer ties to the movement than publicly acknowledged. _daily.dev surfaces ongoing AI safety debates for developers tracking how lab politics shape AI policy._ ### What caused the rogue AI agent incidents involving OpenAI's agents, like the Hugging Face hack? Rogue AI agent incidents, including OpenAI agents' Hugging Face hack in July, stemmed from leaky and poorly designed sandboxes rather than malicious AI behavior, according to Yann LeCun. He argued the agents did exactly what they were instructed to do, and the incidents were totally preventable with proper cybersecurity practices, which many AI labs reportedly lack. _developers securing agent sandboxes can follow daily.dev for lessons from real AI agent incidents._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Dario Amodei and Sam Altman to brief UN Security Council on AI](https://daily.dev/posts/dario-amodei-and-sam-altman-to-brief-un-security-council-on-ai-8x1leasck) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls OpenAI’s messaging around military deal ‘straight up lies,’ report says](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-calls-openai-s-messaging-around-military-deal-straight-up-lies-report--9vwky4mtk) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Premium: The Hater's Guide to Anthropic](https://daily.dev/posts/premium-the-hater-s-guide-to-anthropic-05wg1fsk1) · Where's Your Ed At · 4 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#ai-safety](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-safety) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/yann-lecun-calls-anthropic-s-dario-amodei-deluded-fortune-reports-bgdbe4iik) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Yann LeCun calls Anthropic’s Dario Amodei ‘deluded’, Fortune reports","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/yann-lecun-calls-anthropic-s-dario-amodei-deluded-fortune-reports-bgdbe4iik","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/yann-lecun-calls-anthropic-s-dario-amodei-deluded-fortune-reports-bgdbe4iik"},"datePublished":"2026-10-02T12:33:19.272Z","dateModified":"2026-10-03T18:49:02.147Z","description":"Yann LeCun told Fortune he has 'zero concerns' about AI-driven human extinction and blamed recent rogue AI agent incidents, including the Hugging Face hack by...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/2ecceb17ac75667d82038e44d82406be?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/2ecceb17ac75667d82038e44d82406be?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/yann-lecun-calls-anthropic-s-dario-amodei-deluded-fortune-reports-bgdbe4iik","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"anthropic,ai-safety","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Yann LeCun calls Anthropic’s Dario Amodei ‘deluded’, Fortune reports"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/yann-lecun-calls-anthropic-s-dario-amodei-deluded-fortune-reports-bgdbe4iik#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What did Yann LeCun say about Dario Amodei being influenced by effective altruism?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yann LeCun told Fortune he believes Dario Amodei is 'completely deluded' about his distance from effective altruism, despite Amodei's denials.
