I appeared on the People by WTF episode with Dario Amodei on 24 February 2026 in Bangalore, where we discussed Anthropic’s model release decisions, scaling laws, AI consciousness, governance, regulation, market strategy for India, moats, founder advice, career guidance, societal impact, Chinese models and a biotech bet.
Usage and revenue in India "doubled" in the roughly three months since his October visit.
For founders, he advises to "build on the application layer, avoid being a thin wrapper, target domains with real moats like biology or regulated finance".
Career advice for a 25‑year‑old: "coding first, then broader software engineering, aim for human‑centered work in the physical world or semiconductor supply chain, critical thinking may matter most".
He is bullish on an AI‑driven biotech revival focused on peptides, mRNA, CAR‑T.
The interview also covered scaling‑law analogies, the Long Term Benefit Trust governance model, and the importance of sensible regulation.
