Reacting to the Amodei pacing proposal letter, NVIDIA co-founder emeritus Thom Wolf says he agrees with 75% of it, praising third-party evaluators as a way to rebuild trust between labs and society. But he questions designing global cooperation explicitly to keep widening one's own lead — "a pretty counterproductive way to start the conversation." beffjezos (Jacob Steeves) amplifies it as "a little slip of what this is all about."
