Cloudflare engineer backs an AI pause: we've barely applied the models we already have
threepointone · x · 2026-09-13
- threepointone amplifies KentonVarda's take that today's models are barely scratched in terms of possibilities.
- KentonVarda favors a slowdown or pause — not over doomsday scenarios, but because society hasn't yet applied existing models broadly, e.g. rebuilding infosec defenses with AI before AI gets better at attacking.
- He argues nearly every corner of society needs reorganizing around AI first, churn and all, before progressing further.
