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.
@SenSanders You’re such a stooge.
I’d be happy to come tell you how to spend your money. I’ll Brittany spears you in a week. In your world it’s either conservatorship or communism with you
I’ll never forget when Reid Hoffman ran away from RFK Jr like the small man he is.
He had the opportunity to talk to RFK Jr on the All In podcast, but logged off like a coward.
He spent millions suing RFK Jr to make an independent race impossible and then he tried to sabotage the RFK Jr/Trump alliance - all while saying he believes in democracy.
Now he is all over the Epstein files. Shocker.
🚨 This is one of those moments where the insult accidentally turns into lore.
This is an internal Epstein email from his publicist Peggy Siegel after meeting Michael Saylor, the tech billionaire and Bitcoin enthusiast.
She’s basically complaining that Saylor is unusable.
No ego. No vanity. No sex bait. No social instincts. No obvious fear. She literally says she doesn’t even know how she’d blackmail him because he doesn’t respond to normal human buttons.
In Epstein-world, that’s a malfunction.
Sometimes being socially unreadable saves your ass.
Dr. Zelenko @ZelenkoZev on Bill Gates:
“Why would I take a vaccine for my health which is financed and produced by someone who wants to decrease the world population?"
Thomas Massie is going to war with the Zionist billionaire who’s about to spend up to $20 million against his campaign.
“Miriam Adelson … is one of the three billionaires who is financing the attack against me.”
And he just exposed where her money really comes from:
“Most of her money comes from gambling in Asia now.”
“They are buying politicians in America with money that’s being gambled in Asia, and blackmail is being set up by Mossad or other independent people working on this.”
“Miriam Adelson buys politicians like she buys sports teams.”
“I’m the only one in Congress who will say this on the Republican side.”
“I’m not for sale.”

⚡️This is the clearest fossil record we have of what conviction looks like before the world agrees.
No clout. No guarantees. No momentum. Just one man staring down the asymmetry, understanding that 21 million is a terminal number, and realizing he had one window in time to act before the curve left him behind forever.
He didn’t wait for ETFs. He didn’t wait for headlines. He didn’t crowdsource his risk appetite. He saw that the existing system was hollowing out, and chose the harder bet with the deeper logic.
This is not about hindsight. This is about internal alignment so sharp that the noise fell away. This is about recognizing when the frontier is real, when the rules are changing, and when silence is the last signal before the explosion.
There will never be another $99.
But there will always be another moment that looks insane right before it rewrites everything.
🚨MICHAEL JORDAN JUST WENT ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR ON DEMOCRATS AND DESTROYED THEM! The NBA GOAT dropped truth bombs nobody saw coming: "I can't see why the hell anyone would ever vote for these worthless Democrats again!"

"All they want to do is protest, riot, loot cities, burn everything down, and act like entitled crybabies! Maybe these lazy bastards should get off their asses and actually do their goddamn jobs instead of destroying America!"
This comes as Democrat approval ratings have COLLAPSED to a pathetic 22% – after they bragged about their "huge midterm victory"? Total joke and massive failure!
Jordan is 100% right – Democrats are a disgusting mess of chaos and incompetence!
