Yahoo Finance reports that President Trump used Truth Social on Monday to attack Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, calling him a 'perfect little angel' and declaring that the only AI 'guardrail' the country needs is 'a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.' Trump added that his administration holds 'tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power' over AI companies, and framed opposition to data-center expansion as helping China. The post is a direct rejection of Amodei's weekend essay urging frontier labs to deliberately slow the pace of capability gains. It also draws a clearer line than before between the White House and the part of the industry now lobbying for restraint. Watch whether other labs that backed pacing last week soften their language in response.
