Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, openly lied to the public back in March that AI would be writing 90% of the code by Sept. It is Nov now.
He obviously doesn't even know the stuff he is working on. How would anyone take him seriously for stuff like security which he doesn't know anything about?

He made a prediction from a reasonably informed vantage point

Surely he merely hallucinated based on a fine-tuned distribution, and had no ulterior motive for projecting a level of growth in technical sophistication beyond their current capability onto a somewhat lay, highly speculative, very wealthy crowd.
if he didn't intentionally mislead the public, he should have be open about it and acknowledge the fact that he was utterly wrong.
given the fact that he made such "prediction" largely to secure funding for his company, he should probably make compensations to his investors. he didn't do anything.
the best he could do is to bad mouth competitors who choose to release open weight models on par with his.
