- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long-form essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier", framed as the first formal request from frontier AI builders themselves to slow the pace of the Singularity.
- Written in a future-dated narrative style (September 13, 2026), the piece argues that frontier lab leaders should proactively push for controlled expansion rather than unchecked scaling.
- The repost and surrounding discussion (Alex Wissner-Gross et al.) position it as a significant industry statement on balancing AI speed vs. safety.
