Dario's three-step global coordination plan sparks skepticism — and open-source worries
tokenbender · x · 2026-09-13
tokenbender breaks down Dario Amodei's new essay, which argues we're in serious trouble and global coordination is the only way out, via a three-step plan:
- Scale evaluators: labs above some (undiscussed) threshold would host evaluators monitoring training and evaluation practices — "evaluators who evaluate the evaluators," already enough to create many new jobs;
- Democratic coordination: democracies worldwide adhere to shared standards, "nuclear treaties part two," possibly via an AI version of the UN — bad luck for open source, the author quips;
- The third step is cut off in the post.
The author is openly skeptical of how any of this would work.
