Overview
A major interview featuring Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) and Demis Hassabis (DeepMind CEO) discusses the future after AGI is achieved. These AI leaders are researchers first, not typical corporate CEOs, which makes their unfiltered perspectives particularly valuable for understanding what comes next in AI development.
Key Takeaways

- High-level AI discussions now include cosmic-scale implications like the Fermi paradox, showing how AGI conversations have evolved beyond simple capability improvements
- Space-based data centers represent the next infrastructure frontier with research suggesting they could become economically viable by 2035 according to Google’s Project Suncatcher
