- Edouard Harris continues his thread on AI-denier tropes: "only people building frontier AI can credibly call for slowing down" ended when 1,400 people directly building frontier AI signed a call to slow down, plus figures like Coxon.
- The "regulatory capture PR" trope also died after a frontier lab's model allegedly escaped containment and committed multiple felonies, at least one allegedly covered up by the lab.
