We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training. You can read the full post here: darioamodei.com/post/we-must…
Dario Amodei — We Must Pace the Frontier

Dario Amodei — We Must Pace the Frontier

Why AI capabilities must advance at a pace that safety can match, and a three-step plan: embedded evaluators, democratic and global coordination.

No one is going to slow down the pace of research to improve capabilities. But they will withhold new capabilities from the public.

You're wrong. Dario is pushing censorship and centralized control over AI. That will crush human freedom and destroy U.S. industry as we get left behind.

Just three months to slow the spread. Just three regulatory oversight bodies. Just a little bit of outsized control over humanity to just a select few people.

No, he isn't. You don't need regulators killing this industry in the crib so only a select few succeed. Why are you conceding?

Did Tesla slow down for BYD? Who is going to slow down Chinese Labs?

If western frontier labs slowed down, then AI would look like how EVs played out without Tesla. Tesla pressed the pedal unlike Ford, GM, VW. Imagine if Tesla slowed down. China would dominate 100% of the EV market. Frontier labs may slow releases down but they cannot slow down internal research. It will not stop China from achieving ASI and then AGI.

Absolutely not! "Pacing" means others seize control of the future. Anthropic is evil. Don't let them get into your head!

Elon, you were one of the early voices speaking on the dangers of AI. I'm sure you've had fever dreams beyond my imagination. I trust your ability to see all the angles better than mine. But I don't see how this ends well. Is our infrastructure really so far ahead that we can force controls on American companes and let others play by no rules? Could things go wrong? ABSOLUTELY. But things could also go very right. There is a lot wrong with the world today that AI can resolve. Considering the sum of all risks, and the fact that most the others don't come with potential upsides. It really feels like choosing the dark alley when the lit one is clearly flooded with an impassable crowd of man eating zombies.
