"Lately, we have been witnessing both the Woke Right and the Woke Left piling on Palantir. In substance, these attacks closely resemble one another despite originating from opposite extremes of the political spectrum."

@TheChiefNerd This is exactly what Theodore Hall thought too. Didn't go great for us. And Theodore ended up with the blood of every person that died from 1949 on from Soviet Communism on his hands. https://t.co/kZZI08EfFd

I watched ‘Band of Brothers’ days after 9/11 and wondered whether the heroes in the series still existed. Then I went to war and discovered that they did, writes Elliot Ackerman. https://t.co/bbPfRyDrm6

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.

@eliano @kadmitriev God bless Palantir for scaring the shit out of anti-Western goons!

[Shyam Sankar @ssankar]

EA AI safetyism increasingly looks like Marxism-Leninism for the algorithmic age.

The old vanguard claimed privileged knowledge of the inevitable course of History. The new one claims privileged knowledge of the probabilistic course of Humanity.

Both use an elaborate intellectual framework to reach the same political conclusion: a small group of enlightened people must constrain everyone else for their own good.

That has never lead to anything except monumental human suffering.

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Palantir honors the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families who carry their memory, and the heroes who ran toward danger. These heroes answered the call that day—and continue answering it by keeping America safe and strong today.

We are grateful to all those who have defended our country and protected our freedoms, both then and now.

We will never forget.
