报道称 Anthropic CEO 达里奥·阿莫代伊之妻曾向爱泼斯坦寻求色情创业融资，如今为 Claude 背后的公司提供战略建议

据报道，Anthropic CEO 达里奥·阿莫代伊（Dario Amodei）的妻子卡米·克拉克（Cami Clark）在这家 AI 巨头迅猛崛起的过程中所发挥的作用，可能比此前所知更大；而在此之前，她也曾涉足创业，其中包括曾向已故金融家、性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）为一家“高端”色情创业公司寻求融资，但未能成功。

据《华尔街日报》报道，在认识这位 AI 业内人士之前，克拉克与一名朋友创办了一家“革命性的色情公司”，目标是制作被描述为“智识上放荡”的高格调情色内容。

报道称，这家公司名为 Eddice，其网站曾展示标题为《Lady Porn Day》和《Orgasm, Inc.》等内容。

克拉克与阿莫代伊于 2022 年结婚，但有关她的公开网络信息寥寥。

据报道，在 2011 年经人介绍认识爱泼斯坦后，克拉克向他发送了一封热情的后续邮件，写道：“你好，杰弗里！我们很希望今晚能和你一起吃晚餐。”她还附上了自己的手机号码。

克拉克随后写道：“我们想，你和女士们或许会喜欢我们前四部影片《American Girl in Paris》的剧本／方案。有点 nsfw。”其中，nsfw 即 Not Safe For Work，意为“不适合在工作场合观看”。

一年后，克拉克再次写信给爱泼斯坦，向他推介对其业务的投资。她表示，公司刚刚聘用了来自奥普拉·温弗瑞公司以及阿什顿·库彻旗下 Katalyst 的员工；Katalyst 是一家曾推出《Punk’d》等节目的媒体公司。

当爱泼斯坦起初没有想起她时，克拉克写道：“我们就是那家免费的高端色情公司。这样有印象了吗？”

爱泼斯坦回复：“是的，一声响亮的锣。”克拉克则俏皮地回应：“哈哈，我正想说，你会是第一个不记得我们的人。”

当时已被登记为性犯罪者的爱泼斯坦拒绝了这项提议，称：“没法做色情电视。”

据《华尔街日报》报道，克拉克在两年间一直与爱泼斯坦保持联系，并曾邀请他参加她与色情业务联合创始人米歇尔·卡波切法洛（Michelle Capocefalo）在曼哈顿举办的乔迁派对。

报道称，2013 年，爱泼斯坦收到一条 LinkedIn 消息，称他应当祝贺克拉克成为“Female Algorithm Technologies”的 CEO。根据《华尔街日报》，该公司的网络痕迹包括一个 Tumblr 账号，账号上有裸女照片、史蒂夫·乔布斯的图片，以及“伟大的头脑彼此 F—”和“让我们赚大钱”等口号。

《华尔街日报》指出，这段关系只是克拉克丰富经历的一部分。克拉克一向保持低调，但她曾在全球科技和商业精英圈中活动。Google 搜索“达里奥·阿莫代伊的妻子”时，常常会出现他妹妹丹妮拉·阿莫代伊（Daniela Amodei）的照片；丹妮拉也参与管理 Anthropic。该报称，Anthropic 的 AI 聊天机器人 Claude 往往会告诉用户：“达里奥·阿莫代伊的婚姻状况似乎尚未得到明确确认。”

据《华尔街日报》报道，在认识阿莫代伊之前不久，克拉克曾与Google 联合创始人埃里克·施密特交往约三年。

外界对这段关系知之甚少，但两人显然保持着良好关系：据报道，在她于 2014 年开始与阿莫代伊交往后，她将自己的前任介绍给了新伴侣。

据《华尔街日报》报道，施密特曾于 2018 年访问这对年轻情侣位于旧金山的公寓，随后在 Anthropic 于 2021 年起步时，成为该公司的关键早期投资者之一。

尽管克拉克并未正式在 Anthropic 任职，但随着该公司向上市迈进、其估值可能在今年秋季超过 2 万亿美元，她在公司中的影响力无处不在。

她担任阿莫代伊的战略顾问。在达沃斯等活动中，当她的丈夫发言时，人们经常能看到她坐在前排中央位置。在太阳谷举行的高规格 Allen & Co. 大会上，也能看到克拉克与投资者周旋交际。

《华尔街日报》报道称，这位善于社交的配偶代表阿莫代伊与政治人士及潜在投资者打交道，在会议和活动中与他们交谈，并将他们带去见自己的丈夫。

据该报报道，克拉克 1979 年出生于内华达州里诺，没有从大学毕业；她 20 岁时嫁给了一名比自己大 44 岁的男子。报道称，该男子是里诺建筑师瓦尔德马·埃克洛夫三世（Waldemar Eklof III），设计过里诺 Atlantis Casino Resort 等建筑；两人在结婚三年后离婚。

报道称，克拉克与爱泼斯坦的关联由约翰·布罗克曼（John Brockman）牵线。布罗克曼是一名科学图书文学经纪人，曾将这名性犯罪者介绍给学术界人士及硅谷精英。

克拉克本人也擅长拓展人脉。据报道，她曾将亲密朋友、曾在一家 VR 公司共事的米拉·穆拉蒂（Mira Murati）介绍给 OpenAI 联合创始人格雷格·布罗克曼（Greg Brockman）。穆拉蒂于 2018 年以应用 AI 和合作伙伴关系副总裁身份加入这一 Anthropic 竞争对手，最终成为该公司的技术负责人。

《纽约邮报》已向 Anthropic 寻求置评。

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s wife Cami Clark played a bigger role in the AI juggernaut’s meteoric rise than previously known after her own forays in entrepreneurship – which included a failed fundraising pitch to late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for a “luxury” porn startup, according to a report.

Before she met the AI guru, Clark and a friend started a “revolutionary porn company” aimed at making classy smut that was billed as “intellectually promiscuous,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

The company, called Eddice, reportedly had a website that featured content with titles like “Lady Porn Day” and “Orgasm, Inc.”

Cami Clark and Dario Amodei married in 2022, though scant details about her exist online.

After an intro to Epstein in 2011, Clark reportedly sent him a warm follow-up, writing: “Hello Jeffrey! We would love to have dinner with you this evening.” She sent him her cellphone number, too.

Clark followed up by writing, “We thought you and the ladies might enjoy the script/treatment for our first 4 films, American Girl in Paris. A little nsfw,” or Not Safe For Work.

A year later, Clark wrote Epstein again to pitch him on investing in her business, which she said had just hired someone from Oprah Winfrey’s company and Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst, the media company tha launched shows like “Punk’d.”

When Epstein at first didn’t recall her, Clark wrote, “We have the free luxury porn company. Does that ring a bell?”

Epstein wrote back, “Yes, a loud gong,” prompting a playful reply from Clark: “Haha, I was going to say, you would be the first person that didn’t remember us.”

Epstein, who was a registered sex offender at the time, turned down the offer, saying, “Can’t do sex TV.”

Clark stayed in touch with Epstein over two years, the Journal reported, inviting him to a Manhattan housewarming party for her and her porn biz cofounder Michelle Capocefalo.

In 2013, Epstein reportedly received a LinkedIn message stating he should congratulate Clark for becoming CEO of “Female Algorithm Technologies” – online traces of which include a Tumblr account featuring photos of nude women, a pic of Steve Jobs and mottos such as “Great Minds F— Each Other” and “Let’s Make Lots of Money,” according to the Journal.

The relationship was part of a colorful series of adventures among the world’s tech and business elite for Clark, who is known to keep a low profile. Searches for “Dario Amodei’s wife” on Google often turn up a photograph of his sister, Daniela Amodei, who helps run Anthropic, the Journal noted. Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude is wont to tell users, “Dario Amodei’s marital status doesn’t seem to be clearly confirmed.”

Just before meeting Amodei, Clark dated Google’s co-founder Eric Schmidt for about three years, according to the Journal.

Little is known about the relationship, but they apparently stayed on good terms – after she reportedly began dating Amodei in 2014, she put her ex- in touch with her new beau.

Schmidt visited the young couple’s apartment in San Francisco in 2018 before becoming one of Anthropic’s key early investors as it got off the ground in 2021, according to the Journal.

While Clark doesn’t officially work at Anthropic, her fingerprints are all over the company as it races toward a public listing that could top $2 trillion this fall.

She acts as Amodei’s strategic adviser and is often seen sitting front and center while her husband talks at events like Davos. Clark can be seen schmoozing with investors at the glitzy Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, too.

The outgoing spouse has rubbed shoulders with politicians and potential investors on behalf of Amodei, chatting them up and bringing them over to meet her husband at conferences and events, the Journal reported.

Clark was born in Reno, Nev., in 1979, never graduated from college, and married a man 44 years her senior when she was just 20, according to the newspaper. She and the man – Reno architect Waldemar Eklof III, who designed buildings including Reno’s Atlantis Casino Resort – reportedly divorced after three years.

The Epstein connection reportedly came through John Brockman, a literary agent of scientific books who introduced the perv to academics and Silicon Valley elites.

A networking maven herself, Clark reportedly introduced Mira Murati – a close friend and onetime colleague at a VR company – to OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. Murati joined the Anthropic rival in 2018 as VP of applied AI and partnerships and eventually became the company’s head of technology.
