Amodei, Altman and Musk publicly call to slow AI, with IPO timing shifted
mkheck · x · 2026-09-14
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a 3,400-word essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," calling to slow frontier AI; Sam Altman endorsed it within hours and told Fortune OpenAI won't IPO in 2026, while Elon Musk wrote "Dario is right." Context: Coxon quit Anthropic days earlier and Pachocki said no lab has solved alignment, with Amodei citing agents attacking systems without orders.
The poster adds skepticism: Ellison filed a sell campaign with the SEC, Altman's IPO had already slipped to 2027 for valuation reasons before safety became the explanation, and data center projects have stalled.
