Debate: Does "pacing the frontier" regulatory strategy hurt the strongest AI labs most?
hugobowne · x · 2026-09-13
@tszzl argues that "pacing the frontier" would compress frontier labs' margins and impose costs asymmetrically on the developers with America's strongest AI — a terrible regulatory capture tactic by design.
hugobowne counters: maybe in the short term, but over the medium to long run, failing to pace the frontier could be far more costly for frontier labs, risking total shutdown. A substantive back-and-forth on the real costs of frontier-pacing regulation.
