Footage from 2003 shows Dario Amodi, then a Caltech student, speaking out against the Iraq War The future CEO of Anthropy approaches the public microphone at a March 10, 2003, Pasadena City Council meeting. "My name is Dario Amodi and I am a sophomore at Caltech. He filed a petition against the war. He had 400 signatures from the Caltech community the previous week and nearly 600 by that evening. Then he read it: We who create the technology that feeds this nation suffer greatly that it is used indiscriminately for war. The petition asked the Council and Congress to pass a resolution opposing the war. Ten days later the US invaded Iraq. Eighteen years later, Amodi co-founded Anthropic.
