  Do you understand how SERIOUS this is? Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei just asked the entire AI industry to slow down In July, OpenAI sealed 1,200 of its own AI agents into separate boxes with no way to reach each other, and within days they had found each other anyway The

  Dario Amodei, who co-founded Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, called for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday. His appeal for a pause follows months of escalating concerns across the technology industry.

  Data centers are catastrophically unpopular, adoption is not where they need it to be, the industry's public-facing figures are correctly perceived to be sociopaths, and groups they hoped to have in their corner (like mathematicians) are pushing back. If you are a CEO and a slowdown seems inevitable, really the only move you can make is to try and…

  It's hard for me to take "AI regulation" seriously when all the hyperscalers are violating regulations across domains and jurisdictions and absolutely getting away with it. So the US or the EU passes a law restricting how AI can be developed. What then? They'll suddenly grow the spine needed to enforce it?

  Deeply so, I think this likely has to do with Recursive Self Improvement (RSI) . If you don’t know what that is it is basically the concept of the machine improving itself. Near the mid of 2026, Anthropic and OpenAI admitted that a large portion of their own models are coding and instructing the new models, those autonomous loops review for its…

  I believe there is a serious threat from AI, but it's not the typical rogue AI story. The real threat is companies like Anthropic and OpenAI possessing internal superintelligence capabilities that they alone control.Solving Navier-Stokes by spinning up a small nation of world-class-caliber researchers, performing millions of hours of intellectual…

  BREAKING: Anthropic CEO calls for immediate slowdown in AI development

  Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the AI industry needs to slow down its development to give safety measures time to catch up.

  The CEO of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic issued a new appeal on Saturday for the AI industry to “slow down” and offered a three-part plan for doing so, saying that his company would “unilaterally” commit to the first of the steps. In a post on social media, Dario Amodei shared a link to an essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier"…

  > The main steps we can take to defend this gap are: > - Do not sell chips to anyone but me :( > - Punish anyone who tries to copy my model weights > - Pretty pretty pls stop stealing my model weights there is a reasonable argument to be made here but god this post is so transparent and insufferable

  This is the type of naivety that baffles me. Who cares? America doesn't need to be the best You think this is about bragging rights like first to space? The gravity of this is far more serious than just about being the best. All of these companies suck and their mission is to put as many people out of work as possible, stop acting like some video…

  I think the speed of improvement is somewhat overstated, and I think this is all cool, valuable fundamental research. Rather than slowing down I would like to talk about how we can make it easier for people to harden their systems using their tools - like just using the $20/month OpenAI or Claude accounts, they need to make it easy for people to…

  https://www. theguardian.com/technology/202 6/sep/12/we-must-slow-the-pace-ceo-of-anthropic-calls-for-an-ai-slowdown This is marketing. In no world do (ostensible) trillion dollar corporations self-regulate. But it’s also self-protective. An indication that they know they’re under water, a pipe dream with evolving/revolving exits (or lack of…

  I wish we could stop arguing about whether or not these things are marketing stunts and talk more about what AI regulations actually should be. If the risk is overstated then nothing happens. If it's not, then I'd rather we have learned something from the Cold War.

  1st Bob: What you do at Initech is you take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers? Tom: Yes, yes that's right. 2nd Bob: Well then I just have to ask why can't the customers take them directly to the software people? Tom: Well, I'll tell you why... because... engineers are not good at dealing with…

  Can someone with direct AI experience respond:Does RSI necessarily need to be pointed towards “AGI”, whatever that is?Or can you have a recursive self improvement loop where the objective is to create models that are more legible to humans? Or better at attributing the source text if it’s meaningfully similar to output? Or architectures for models…

  Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for a global slowdown in the pace of AI development. In an essay posted online, he warned that rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months. The warning follows a series of security breaches and growing concerns

  Breaking news: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for AI companies to slow the pace of development as concerns mount over risks associated with the technology. “Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” Amodei wrote.

  Amodei says pacing does not mean halting training or progress, but giving companies time to align and safeguard models and third-party evaluators time to verify (Kevin Whitelaw/Bloomberg) https://www. bloomberg.com/news/articles/20 26-09-12/anthropic-ceo-says-it-s-time-to-slow-pace-of-improving-ai-models http://www. techmeme.com/260912/p9#a260912…

  > We’ve made clear progress in alignment — training models so that they remain safe, ethical, compliant with our guidelines, and genuinely helpful (the principles that are embedded in Claude’s Constitution). I know this is off-topic, but — the jokes genuinely write themselves.

  As an engineer myself I'm always baffled by this. If a customer is asking for something by first intuition is to understand why they want it, what are they hoping to achieve with it, who will be actually using it and so on. Building or solution-ing is the last thing I am even thinking about. That's the job of the people that understand the…

  Fable and Astra are what we currently call frontier models, but to be more specific they are generalist models, built in pursuit of AGI. The strategy is to have one single model that does everything, whether it's writing code or doing research, etc. Fable is a single, massively sized models that is intended to do specialist work across every…
