In a quoted interview, Sam Altman says a Hugging Face security incident was serious enough that they had to pause training, and calls it one of his top concerns. He argues that AI development may need to slow down so society has time to harden around new capability levels.
The post frames this as a warning that the industry’s speed may need to be paced by safety and societal readiness, not just competitive pressure.
