Anthropic's voluntary third-party evaluators draw fire: that's not regulation

Debate over Dario Amodei's AI slowdown essay keeps widening.
- Critics note Anthropic's proposed 'third-party evaluators' are not government regulators — bank supervision isn't voluntary or ideologically aligned, so voluntary pledges and mandatory rules are different things.
- The other side (jonfavs) mocks the 'devious plot' framing: builders say AI could end humanity, and the immediate worry is that the fix might hinder industry efficiency.
- This fight sits on the same fault line as the 'safety narrative as burn-rate cover' critique: is Anthropic's safety push public good, moat, or financial strategy?
