Meta's compute-allocation pledge sparks debate on racing to recursive self-improvement
DKokotajlo · x · 2026-09-16
Nathan Calvin argues that committing the majority of compute to serving users rather than racing toward recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to develop AI safely, noting Meta has made this commitment and other labs can too. Daniel Kokotajlo endorses the point, suggesting publicly sharing compute allocations with third-party verification could become an industry norm — and leading labs could start unilaterally right away.
