A Reddit post points out that Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman have all recently called for slowing down AI development — a rare alignment in the past two years — and speculates they may know of a more serious AI incident than the Hugging Face one. Links to a WSJ report on Anthropic's CEO warning the industry must slow the pace. Speculative, but has fueled discussion about a possible undisclosed safety event.
