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.
🚨BREAKING: In a mic drop moment, Sec. Scott Bessent just PUMMELED the NYT to their faces for a HUGE double standard on Donald Trump's health
"WHERE was the New York Times? We just had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday!"
"For 10 MONTHS Biden did not have a cabinet meeting. How are you going to invoke the 25th Amendment if the cabinet secretaries never see the president?"
"You had what was one of the greatest scandals of all time that the coverage of the Biden administration, Joe Biden's diminished capacity and the cover up."
"I hear from people in the Treasury building that I see President Trump more in a day than my predecessor saw Joe Biden in half a year!"
Do you firmly support Scott Bessent on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
Remember that time the President of the United States was permanently banned from Twitter because his free speech was deemed to be something Americans should not be allowed to hear, and literally every Democrat supported the action?
Good times...
They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.
A domestic terrorist went hunting Jews last night in Wash DC open firing outside a Jewish event killing 2 Jews. The terrorist Elias Rodriguez yelled “Free Palestine” as he got arrested. This type of tragedy is the natural progression of events when the morons running our colleges, far left politicians, and hate merchants on social media continue to normalize and seemingly encourage anti semitism in this country.
The least surprising part about this tragedy is that the killer hated America long before the conflict in the Middle East. He was an active member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation and the People’s Congress of Resistance. He was a serial agitator as so many of the Free Palestine movement are. For them this isn’t just about the war in Gaza. This is about hating America and our way of life. And the more that antisemitism is normalized in this country the more it emboldens these lunatics to commit these heinous acts.
The bottom line is that nobody in this country should be intimidated or fear for their safety because of their religion but here we are.
“Something to think about:
Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's scale that to 46 years. We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began one minute ago.
In that time, we have destroyed 50% of the world's forests. This is not sustainable."
When Conservatives are upset at a company we simply stop buying from them.
Bud Light went woke? We find another beer. Target sells tucking swimwear for kids? We shop somewhere else. Disney grooms kids? We stop watching their stuff.
When Democrats want to boycott Tesla because the media told them Elon is a Nazi, they shoot up and firebomb Tesla dealerships and vandalize Teslas in parking lots.
We are not the same.
The Democratic Party is the party of violence.
Democrats stopped a Kennedy from even running in the primary
They denied him secret service protection
They told Big Tech to censor and ban him
All he wanted was healthier food and safer medicine
A Republican President gave him a voice
And that’s why he won the popular vote
Filmed TODAY: This is what Chimney Rock, North Carolina looks like after Hurricane Helene
Since Hurricane Helene hit, Joe Biden has announced:
- $1 billion to Africa to rebuild homes destroyed by natural disasters
- $988 million to Ukraine
- An estimated $600 million to Syria
FEMA Administrator said “no money” to rebuild devastated areas of Hurricane Helene victims here in America
Biden was in Africa today pledging over ONE BILLION to build railways between mineral mines.
There are people in North Carolina who are STILL HOMELESS from Hurricane Helene.
This should boil your blood. It's absolutely DISGUSTING!
