Researcher Counters Dario's 'Pace the Frontier' With Open, Decentralized Alternative
emax · x · 2026-09-16
Max Van Kleek (emax) published "Responsibility, Not Rationing," a response to Dario Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier." He endorses Anthropic's third-party evaluator scheme with real access and publication rights, but rejects the bundled call for industry-wide slowdown as unsupported and exclusionary to most of the AI ecosystem. His alternative: an open, decentralized, sustainable path with 90% less panic. Context: a US bill proposing 20-year jail terms for superintelligence developers, and viral doomer claims hitting 150M views.
