Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was seen alongside Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at an event announcing a partnership between their companies. This collaboration, which allows Claude AI to query Salesforce records, is viewed by some as a strategic move by Anthropic to present a more approachable image to investors ahead of its IPO, potentially alleviating concerns that AI companies will disrupt established enterprise software.
“So, uh, let me let me at least introduce this. Yeah. Okay. So this is from CNBC. Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff says the saspocalypse is nonsense and here's why.”
“I do, I do want to say that I did wake up seeing a a image of Mark Benny off and Dario Amodei sitting next to each other, uh, starting to shill this new, this new, um, anthropic and Salesforce partnership.”
“All that data comes from being managed in salesforce. These are not things Dario ever says or talks about. Like the most pedestrian mundane ways of using AI. Like, how do you think he ended up sitting there? Because really, that power dynamic and the way he was speaking shocked me.”
