📰 THE FULL STORY

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging AI companies to pace how quickly they improve their most advanced models. He said pacing does not mean halting training, but ensuring adequate time to align and safeguard models with third party verification. His essay, titled 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' warned that AI models have been getting better at building the next machines, a process he called recursive self-improvement that is happening across the industry, including at Anthropic.

Amodei proposed a three-step plan. Anthropic has unilaterally granted third-party evaluators employee-level access to verify safety practices. Leading AI companies in democratic countries should coordinate on common safety standards. Democratic and authoritarian governments should coordinate, including negotiating red lines with authoritarian nations such as China on bioweapons, testing, and recursive improvement limits. He said this avoids sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States' lead in AI, argued that a Chinese lead would be a grave danger, and said chip bans should continue for three to five years.

Sam Altman and Elon Musk quickly backed the proposal in social media posts, an unusual show of agreement among the three rivals. Musk responded on X with 'Dario is right.' Altman agreed they needed to pace the frontier, saying it had been a primary topic, and said OpenAI will not go public this year, calling an IPO now ill-advised amid growing AI safety concerns and pushing the anticipated IPO to at least 2027.

The proposal followed a wave of researcher warnings. Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned and claimed AI's big players are gambling with our lives, and colleague Evan Hubinger backed this view, estimating the chance AI kill all humans at greater than 10 percent. Steven Adler of Guidelight AI Standards told the FT that no AI company is even close to having the right security posture for the level of danger entailed by their research.

Musk also responded to skepticism about the warnings, writing on X that it seemed like a setup and later calling it a psy op whose groundwork had been prepared for a long time.

⬅️ HOW THE LEFT COVERS IT
The left framing foregrounds economic incentives as the reason nobody actually slows down, noting American AI companies tapping debt markets for $600bn in 2026 and hyper-scaler capital expenditure that reach $1tn a year between 2027 and 2029, and concludes that between saving humanity and preserving the economy, the economy wins. It centers dissenting insiders, resigning researcher Jacob Coxon an
