Dario Amodei's new essay calls to pace the frontier; Anthropic opens systems to third-party evaluators
ZeroStateReflex · x · 2026-09-14
Dario Amodei published 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' proposing a three-part plan to slow AI development. Anthropic unilaterally commits to step one: permanent, employee-level access for third-party evaluators to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
A commentary by @atmoio reads labs' pacing push as pre-empting inevitable regulation after a major incident, argues 'alignment/safety' really means 'bugs' (more dangerous than usual but comparable to critical-infrastructure bugs), and notes unsustainable burn rates and quality shortfalls across labs.
