Altman, Amodei and Musk All Signal a Frontier AI Slowdown Is Underway
Hesamation · x · 2026-09-12
Hesamation compiles three signs that a frontier AI slowdown is happening: Sam Altman told OpenAI staff in an internal meeting they may pace AI development "perhaps along with other AI labs"; Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier" explicitly calling for pacing; and Elon Musk agreed with Dario. All three lab leaders simultaneously shifting from full-speed race to coordinated pacing marks a notable turn for the industry and AGI timelines.
