Anthropic's Dario Amodei calls on AI industry to slow down, draws 'race to IPO' mockery
ryanshrout · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' arguing the AI industry should slow down and laying out a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
The proposal was quickly mocked: journalist deebosa quoted the essay's line that 'a race to the bottom, spurred by commercial incentives, can make these risks more acute,' adding 'says the company racing to go public?' — a jab retweeted by Ryan Shrout.
