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.

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.

🚨 US TREASURY JUST CONFESSED: THE DEBT CAN’T BE PAID

Scott Bessent just said the quiet part out loud: “The only option left is to grow out of it.”

America cannot cut or tax its way out of $40 trillion.

That is not a strategy. That is a last bet.

It means the pile is too big to repay in real terms. So they need GDP to outrun the debt while deficits stay massive. Miss the growth target and the ratio explodes. Hit it only with inflation and the currency takes the hit.

They are now selling the AI boom as fiscal policy. Robots, data centers, productivity miracles, anything to make the denominator grow fast enough that $40 trillion looks “manageable.”

Then comes the second trick: Stablecoins.

Wrap Treasuries as “reserves,” push dollar tokens worldwide, and quietly transfer fiat debt onto a crypto rail so foreigners keep funding the same obligation under a new wrapper.

If that fails (and the odds are high), the trap snaps shut.

Sticky inflation. Rising long yields. Softening Treasury demand. Record interest payments eating revenue. Multi-trillion deficits forcing more issuance. More bonds, higher rates, a bigger interest bill, still more debt. That loop does not “grow out.” It compounds.

There is no soft landing after that. Only a financial depression and a new system.

China is already building the alternative: 21 straight months of official gold buying, a Hong Kong vault-and-clearing network to make yuan convertible into metal, and BRICS rails designed to settle trade outside pure dollar clearing.

The confession only means one thing: They’re kicking the can as much as they can, but the endgame is a financial depression.

This was exactly outlined by the famous City Of London banker @LordBelgrave at the start of the year.

Washington will have no choice but to debase the U.S. dollar and weaken its “reserve status” to get out of its debt trap.

It’s all planned for Gold.

[Affordability Crisis @trackingcosts]

Since 1990, the cost of living in America has exploded.

- Home: $123K to $411K
- College: $1,900 to $29,600 a year
- Health insurance: $3K to $25K
- New car: $15K to $48K
- Rent: $450 to $1,600

Income didn't keep up

I will be exposing the system and what it did to America.

It was the landslide that caused the earthquake.

That is colossal!!!!
