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.

Only 66 years from first flight to landing on the moon, but now half a century has passed since the last moon landing.

That cannot be our high water mark as a civilization.

Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars and be out there among the stars!

Here is a complete update on my YouTube banning situation where I prove with receipts that @TeamYouTube is lying about their justification.
I also go over my future plans and how I will never be reliant on YouTube again.

What happens when you ask an AI to generate "Human Evolution."

This is terrifying.

@HouseAppropsGOP @RepHalRogers This guy supports failed drug war, coal, monopoly control of internet data. what else? Please Quit #politics

[Salvatore B @SalBerlingeri]

@RepHalRogers You are anti-progress and anti-future. You support incumbent service providers and backwards thinking coal. #stupid #politics

[Salvatore B @SalBerlingeri]

@SenJohnThune Do you represent constituents or just corporate $$? Because #NetNeutrality is overwhelmingly supported by voters.

[Salvatore B @SalBerlingeri]

@iamjohnoliver Thanks John Oliver! Your segment on #NetNeutrality was not only funny and great, but it was an amazing public service.

@boblatta If your bill is really intended to protect innovation and consumers, then it should also eliminate paid prioritization of traffic

[Salvatore B @SalBerlingeri]

@jbouie diversity is a good thing but "the pipeline" is real. it's easy to call it an excuse when you conveniently ignore reality.

@JohnKerry Your statements on Snowden are disingenuous and ignore the real issue. You will be on the wrong side of history. #Snowden

@BlairWalsh3 Do you also tongue the coaches ass when you're down there kissing it? #Vikings #JumpToConclusions

[Salvatore B @SalBerlingeri]

@jefflocke18 Instead of kissing ass, why not see how this plays out? Certainly you don't know what really happened. Don't be a sheep.
