Mapping the AI slowdown debate: from Amodei's pause to Gomez's 'cartel' jab
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-09-14
The author maps where each side actually stands in the "should AI slow down" debate:
- Dario Amodei wants to slow AI down; Sam Altman agrees
- Aidan Gomez calls the proposal a "cartel"
- Some researchers argue slowing isn't nearly enough; others like Replit's CEO back a narrower "time for repairs" stance
- Technical spectrum: MIRI's international pause, Bengio's safety cases, Hassabis's standards body, Andreessen's acceleration
A high-quality overview thread for a quick map of all camps' arguments.
