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.

@circle @Shoalresearch Value transport is necessary but not sufficient. The real gap is verification of truth + sub-cent atomic settlement that can start/end in fiat + portable offline proof. TODAQ’s take on the missing middle:

I’m joining the Boardy Pro Advisory Board!

I’m working closely with @Boardyai and his team to shape the future of Boardy Pro. One of our own Agents will be tying in most closely with Boardy day to day.

Boardy gave me 5 invites to share: 1 year of free access to Boardy Pro.

Comment “BOARDY PRO” if you want in!

1/
The agent web is solving orchestration before solving verification.
That gap will become one of the defining infrastructure problems of autonomous systems.

9/
The next phase of agentic infrastructure will not be defined solely by orchestration. It will be defined by whether autonomous execution can become independently verifiable.

Live from r/AI_Agents today:
40+ agent projects veteran: “Stop building AI agents.”

This is the Trust Wall in action. Probabilistic systems produce unauditable records for real economic actions.

Qatom + TODA delivers the fix: in-flight payments with bearer assets carrying cryptographic proof.

No reconstruction needed.

The infrastructure layer the market now desperately needs.

The agentic AI hype is hitting a production wall.
A developer with 40+ real deployments just said out loud what many are thinking:
“Stop building AI agents.”
Automations win in production. Agents hallucinate and resist auditing.

One approach doing this seriously is TODA-file (full provenance bound at execution + formal proof). x402 is at 169M transactions — volume matters. But increasingly, provability will matter more.
What’s your biggest agent audit headache right now?
