The woman who cannot be found on Google is shaking up the $2 trillion AI empire.

Latest Anthropic insider revelations exposed!

Search for "Dario Amodei's wife" on Google, and you will see a photo of his sister Daniela Amodei.

This is not an accidental error made by the search engine, but a deliberately arranged result.

Information about Camilla Clark on the Internet has been wiped out so thoroughly that even Claude cannot confirm whether he is married.

This woman "erased" from the Internet is named Camilla Clark.

She has no official position at Anthropic, but she is an important figure in Dario Amodei's core circle.

To get to this point, she has gone through many twists and turns: dropping out of college, having a short early marriage with a man more than 40 years older than her at the age of 20, and embarking on an entrepreneurial path full of repeated failures.

"The Disappeared Her": The First Lady of Anthropic

Different from the "no such person found" result on Google search, Camilla Clark is very prominent in the real world.

Earlier this year, Indian Prime Minister Modi called AI leaders for a meeting in New Delhi.

According to security regulations, each executive can bring one extra person. Others brought colleagues: the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, and Apple brought their chief strategy officers, policy heads, or legal directors.

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, brought his wife Camilla Clark.

This is not an isolated case. She has been spotted in the front row seats of Davos and the corridors of the Sun Valley elite summit.

She accompanies her husband to various high-end events, and her outgoing social style makes up for Dario Amodei's relatively introverted personality.

According to insiders, she takes the initiative to talk to politicians and potential investors, and then introduces them to her husband.

In order to ease the relationship between Anthropic and the Pentagon, Cami (the nickname of Camilla Clark) made connections for Dario Amodei, as she has known Ivanka for quite some time.

At the Sun Valley conference in July this year, she had lunch with Ivanka Trump and talked to Jared Kushner — Dario Amodei had previously sought investment from Kushner.

At a recent private dinner, former Google Chairman Eric Schmidt raised a toast to "Dario Amodei and Anthropic", and specifically named and praised the couple "Cami and Dario" sitting side by side.

However, where did the relationship between Dario Amodei and Eric Schmidt come from? Camilla Clark.

She introduced Dario Amodei to Schmidt. In 2018, Schmidt visited their apartment in San Francisco and was deeply impressed by their ideas.

People familiar with the two said that she would take the initiative to help Dario Amodei get the attention he deserves, and she is also very good at building connections for him.

For example, she introduced her good friend Mira Murati to Greg Brockman, co-founder of OpenAI. The two had previously worked together at Leap Motion. Murati later joined OpenAI and eventually became CTO.

Amodei travels around the world to talk about AI, from New Delhi to Davos to Sun Valley, and his wife Camilla Clark is almost inseparable from him. Friends say she is his emotional ballast, and he always turns to her for advice in times of turmoil.

She is also a member of the WhatsApp group "Real Housewives of AI", which includes other outstanding women in the technology industry.

Another interesting detail:

As Amodei continued to get promoted at OpenAI, Clark sent his research papers to wealthy insiders in the tech circle who had the strength to invest in his future company.

In the past, insiders at Anthropic called his wife his "handler".

At that time, in the most common sense, Brian Roemmele thought that Clark was nothing more than an agent who took care of him, assisted him, and looked after him behind the scenes.

But today, he is no longer sure if that was what they really meant back then.

The Erased First Half of Life

Camilla Clark went through many hardships to get to where she is today.

In 1979, Camilla Clark was born into a blue-collar family in Reno, Nevada.

At the age of 14, she worked at the plumbers' union.

At the age of 20, she married a 64-year-old architect. The two divorced three years later.

This was her starting point.

In 1999, she moved to San Francisco, where she lived for about ten years, and also visited New York and Los Angeles.

During that period, she worked as a mortgage broker, and once described herself as the co-founder of a financial company, but her name did not appear in the company's registration documents.

In 2007, her apartment in San Francisco was foreclosed on by the lender. Two years later, she filed for bankruptcy.

Around 2010, she founded Eddice with Michelle Capocefalo, claiming it was a "revolutionary adult video company".

She Entered Dario Amodei's World Very Early

In 2014, she started dating Dario Amodei.

She once frequented a famous "co-living house" in San Francisco. Dario Amodei, Holden Karnofsky, Dario Amodei's sister Daniela, and a group of core figures in the AI safety and "effective altruism" circles lived there.

When the two first got together, Dario Amodei was a postdoc at Stanford School of Medicine, holding a PhD in computational neuroscience from Princeton University. Later he worked at Baidu and Google, and joined OpenAI in 2016.

At OpenAI, Dario Amodei rose rapidly and took the lead in the famous "Scaling Laws" research, which means that the capabilities of the model will continue to improve as computing power and training data increase.

And Camilla Clark also penetrated deeper and deeper into his professional world.

At the end of 2020, Dario Amodei had a disagreement with Altman and Greg Brockman over the power of the company. Later, he left OpenAI with his sister Daniela and five other employees to found Anthropic.

In May 2021, Anthropic announced the completion of a $124 million Series A round of financing. Among the investors were Skype engineer Jaan Tallinn, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

At the end of 2021, people around began to notice a suspected engagement ring on Camilla Clark's hand. Shortly after, the two got married in Italy.

Noble Person in Life: Eric Schmidt

Camilla Clark's final destination is Dario Amodei, but her first noble person may be former Google CEO and entrepreneur Eric Schmidt.

In 2011, Camilla Clark and her partner attended the DLD conference in Munich. It was an occasion full of celebrities from the technology, media, science and art circles, and the keynote speaker that year was Eric Schmidt.

After that, Camilla Clark began to associate with Eric Schmidt until she met Dario Amodei in 2014.

By the way, Eric Schmidt is one of the most powerful and influential tech giant leaders in Silicon Valley. Although he is married to Wendy Schmidt, Eric Schmidt is romantic and has constant gossip.

He got the nickname "Silicon Valley Casanova" for being accompanied by fashion designers, public relations executives, socialites and young girlfriends for a long time.

After Eddice failed in 2013, she founded Female Algorithm Technologies, a high-end health clinic for women. This time, she secured investment from Eric Schmidt.

On the company's advisor list, there is a name written: "Dr. Dario Amodei".

At that time, Dario Amodei was still at OpenAI. That was how she met her future husband.

Eric Schmidt once recalled that when he visited Dario Amodei and Camilla Clark's apartment in San Francisco in 2018, he was deeply impressed by the young scientist's vision.

At first, Eric Schmidt questioned Anthropic's "Public Benefit Corporation" model and suggested adopting the traditional startup route, but Dario Amodei refused.

Then in February 2021, Camilla Clark sent Eric Schmidt a 40-page proposal, proposing to set up a fund called "Mother of AGI Fund", which aimed to formalize her role at Anthropic and manage Eric Schmidt's shares.

But other co-founders of Anthropic, including Daniela, did not support it. The plan was eventually shelved.
