I want every single person in the world to succeed.

I don't want anyone gatekeeping intelligence just to exploit people.

This is why open source has to win.

1/ My response to all this AI doomerism builds on @ylecun's observation that they thought GPT2 was world-ending. Give me a break. This doomerism is total b/s. “Just slow down” is not a credible strategy.

pacing provocation
/PAY-sing prov-uh-KAY-shun/
noun

A staged, induced, misattributed, or deliberately amplified AI incident intended to demonstrate that advanced AI systems are dangerously uncontrollable, thereby creating political pressure for tighter regulation, deployment restrictions, or a slower technological frontier.

Especially: an alleged cyberattack or autonomous-agent failure presented as evidence that frontier AI development must be “paced,” where the incident’s origin, circumstances, or interpretation may have been manipulated by actors with an interest in stronger controls.

See also: safety cartel, alignment aristocracy, regulatory theater, false flag.

“A pacing provocation turns an AI safety test into a political argument for slowing everyone else down.”

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Lots of calls for "slowing down"... why aren't the labs calling for a 10x or 100x increased effort in ALIGNMENT work? After all, that is the core issue. ASI that is fully aligned with humanity uplifts everyone.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

[Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross @alexwg]

safety cartel
/ˈseɪf.ti kɑrˈtɛl/
noun

A coalition of dominant firms that invokes safety to justify coordinated limits on the pace or terms of competition. This can include common restrictions, government enforcement, or exemptions from ordinary antitrust constraints, especially when those measures allow participants to slow down without sacrificing their relative competitive positions.

Especially: a group of frontier AI companies advocating industry-wide “pacing,” common capability limits, or regulatory checkpoints that constrain faster-moving rivals while preserving incumbent advantages.

See also: regulatory moat, incumbent protection, coordinated pacing.

“When competitors need an antitrust waiver to coordinate how fast their industry is allowed to advance, critics may call it a safety cartel.”

[Matteo Pellegrini @matteopelleg]

How to kill open source models in 3 simple steps:

- Create panic about frontier models.
- Have the biggest AI companies help write the “safety” rules. ← WE’RE HERE
- Make those rules so burdensome that open source can’t compete.

Art of the deal.

It’s sad that China will force US AI companies to be capitalists.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

After today's events, I'm rooting harder than ever for open source to succeed.

I'm also rooting harder than ever for U.S. frontier AI labs to financially collapse into bankruptcy and ruin.

Why? Because the danger to our world isn't AI itself. The real danger is AI being centrally controlled by the kind of scheming, nefarious, dishonest cretins who would engineered an "AI doom op" to try to scare everybody into supporting government controls over AI models.

THOSE PEOPLE are the danger to humanity. And they want monopoly control over all AI technology. Not to save humanity, but to ENSLAVE humanity.

In a future with AI, our only shot at human freedom is through decentralized, open source AI. And that's exactly what these frontier AI labs are now trying to stop.

Marked safe from falling for another psyop 🙋‍♀️

[Milk Road AI @MilkRoadAI]

The biggest AI companies may be using safety to lock everyone else out of the future (Save this).

@DavidSacks believes that warnings about catastrophic AI risks will build public support for a powerful federal regulator.

That regulator may never explicitly ban open source AI.

Instead, it could require every advanced model to remain continuously monitored, centrally controlled and capable of being withdrawn.

Closed models such as Claude could satisfy those requirements because they operate on company controlled servers.

Open weight models would struggle to comply because anyone can download, copy and modify their underlying weights.

Once those weights are publicly released, the developer cannot recall every copy, monitor every user or guarantee that its original safeguards remain intact.

Anthropic identifies this irreversibility as a legitimate security concern.

Applying identical rules to open and closed models could therefore produce very unequal consequences.

Anthropic and OpenAI could afford expensive testing, licensing and monitoring requirements, while startups and independent developers might be unable to comply.

The eventual result could be a government protected oligopoly dominated by a few closed model companies.

There is evidence supporting part of Sacks’ concern.

Anthropic advocates mandatory pre-release testing for every sufficiently powerful model, whether it is open or closed, with evaluations focused on cyber, biological and alignment risks.

However, Anthropic explicitly denies supporting a blanket ban on open weight models.

The company describes open models without dangerous capabilities as a public good and argues that regulation should depend on demonstrated capabilities rather than whether a model is open or closed.

Sacks’ strongest argument is therefore about regulatory consequences because safety organizations could receive stronger protections, politicians could acquire greater authority and dominant AI companies could gain an expensive compliance moat.

And open source competitors could gradually be eliminated without the government ever formally announcing a ban.

A war is being waged—not just overseas, but for the soul of America.

Fr. Emmanuel exposes the sinister theology of Christian Zionism. He shows how Zionism has infiltrated U.S. foreign policy, fueled wars in the Middle East, and deceived millions of believers.

In this episode, uncover:

- How dispensationalism twists Scripture.
- The dark alliance between Christian Zionism and politics.
- Why Iran, Israel, and WW3 may be the fruits of such heresy.
- The Orthodox Truth that confronts the lie.

Featuring verified history, real prophecies, and a warning for the future…
