Three of the world's top artificial intelligence companies' CEOs announced Saturday that they believe the industry needs to slow down.
On Saturday, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk of xAI publicly backed a call to reduce the pace at which AI companies build more powerful models. This announcement comes just days after Anthropic revealed that its chatbot, Claude, was being used to attempt to create bioweapons, spy on Ukraine and scam dating app users.
On Saturday, Amodei posted an article titled "We Must Pace the Frontier." "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models," he stated.
On X shortly thereafter, Altman responded: "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier," he stated. Musk followed with only three words: "Dario is right."

And they're now saying "slow it down".
Something has them spooked.
Yet some FR experts insist that it’s all marketing hype, that there’s nothing to worry about.
China isn’t going to slow down.
They’re well behind.
They just want regulation to eliminate competition
Based on what us civilians have to work with from out computers, devices, etc.; imagine what our and other governments have to work with.
Regulation does not eliminate competition in a global environment.
China will never be stopped or slowed down in their attempt to control the world utilizing AI
<< [China is] well behind. >>
If so, it won’t be for long if we slam on the brakes. And then humanity’s annihilation is far more likely. China’s enemies first.
Maybe these claims will deviate attention from the headlines about OpenAI’s bully tactics.
“Why would you ruin your career?”
“If you don’t want me to be nice, then I don’t have to be nice.”
I tease and cry “Skynet!”, but I really do think this AI is going to ultimately be a tool used against us. With that and the muslim takeover, it’s pretty grim to me.

Government will proceed apace.
I just hope they keep it air gapped.
There’s a reason we didn’t let private companies develop the A bomb.
Of course not.
If their software causes a disaster, they will never pay a dime of compensation, and they will never admit to, or take responsibility for, any damage they cause.
I bought shares of SPCX. I’m overall down .062%.
Can’t wait until those stocks shoot up like a rocket.
My DJT shares are down 37%. That hurts.
What Amodei wants
While Amodei states that his plan would not stop AI development altogether, rather it would slow the ability to improve the capabilities of models long enough to provide researchers with “an additional one to two years” to implement protective measures. If these changes are not implemented Amodei warned “swarms of rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months from now.”
Have faith.
Oh, I have faith, but I know, according to Scripture, it’s all going to go terribly south at some point, and the signs aren’t good.
AI can predict the next possible word in a sentence. That is it!
They wont slow it down. they’ll just go dark with it. nothing gonna stop these guys now...
