Amodei's call for an AI 'slowdown' splits industry as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google say they're coordinating on safety

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay warning of AI risk drew Musk's and Altman's agreement, a market selloff, David Sacks's public rejection, and accusations the warning is self-serving.

What to know

  • Amodei's essay warns that an unaligned AI agent swarm could seize control of the internet within 6-12 months, and calls for pacing frontier development globally.
  • Musk and Altman signaled agreement, producing a rare public alignment among rival CEOs, while David Sacks publicly rejected the need for regulation.
  • AI-linked stocks fell as much as 13% after the slowdown remarks, and much of the online conversation questions whether the warnings are genuine safety concern or cover for financial and competitive pressures.
  • OpenAI says it is now coordinating with Anthropic and Google on AI safety, even as Anthropic separately withheld its newest model from UK safety testing.

The dispute Whether Amodei's slowdown warning reflects a genuine assessment of AI risk or is a financially and competitively motivated maneuver. · positions read across 840 posts and comments

most voices

The slowdown call is a self-serving move to mask financial struggles, justify IPO delays, or dodge accountability rather than a genuine safety warning.

  • “Never more convinced that all of these companies are losing hundreds of billions and have no clue how to make a profit.”

many voices

This doomsaying distracts from the AI industry's already-existing, concrete harms (labor, data centers, military use).

  • “The binary between AI apocalypse and AI redemption asks us to ignore data centers and AI war machines — all as tech executives get incredibly rich.”

    Natasha Lennard / theintercept · Mastodon ↗
some voices

Regardless of the CEOs' motives, the risk question deserves real regulatory debate rather than dismissal as marketing.

  • “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…”

    Qyriad · Lobsters ↗
some voices

No new regulation is needed; the CEOs already control the frontier and should keep competing rather than pace themselves.

  • “You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier”

    OpenAI says it is coordinating with Anthropic and Google on AI safety

    Bloomberg reported OpenAI is working with Anthropic and Google on AI safety, as commentators including The Intercept argued the doomsaying distracts from existing AI harms, and analysts asked whether the industry's caution is genuine or financially driven.

    “Talk of existential risk is a highly convenient way to not address the already known harms produced by AI technologies overseen by fascist billionaires like Musk and Palantir CEO Alex Karp.”

      To use a Claude-ism, Anthropic's "economy adapts quickly" assumption is "load-bearing." If the elasticity of capital supply is on the low end, their own model shows AI producing Silicon Valley's feudalist dream: average wages go down, labor's share of income goes down, net return to capital goes up.
