"Responsibility, not rationing": a market-based counter to Dario's Pacing the Frontier
emax · x · 2026-09-16
Responding to Dario Amodei's "Pacing the Frontier," the author frames a simple dichotomy: either safer, better-aligned models are also better products, in which case the market rewards them — or they aren't, in which case "Pacing" amounts to asking government to force customers to pay for something they already declined.
- He proposes an open, decentralised, sustainable alternative under the banner "Responsibility, not rationing," claiming "90% less panic" than the original essay.
- The post is a notable entry in the ongoing debate over AI safety versus market incentives.
