Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should deliberately slow down and laying out a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to step one: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. The repost includes a long personal reflection from an1lam on a decade of x-risk concern since LessWrong and pivoting to AI for bio.
