Jan Leike argues it's time to build institutional mechanisms to pace frontier AI development, warning the industry is locked into an all-out scaling race toward superintelligence that leaves too little room for safety and alignment work.
Turing Award winner Csaba Szepesvári pushed back: it's not about pacing but about establishing standards and holding people accountable — like car racing, push limits on the track, not the streets.
