Thompson argues that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's insistence on slowing frontier AI development is framed as a safety concern but also strategically addresses business problems faced by leading labs. He critiques the philosophical underpinnings of effective altruism views within the AI safety community as granting excessive moral weight to hypothetical future beings.
