Dario Amodei's 'We Must Pace the Frontier' essay draws fire as Anthropic opens models to third-party evaluators
alex_verem · x · 2026-09-17
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, We Must Pace the Frontier, arguing the AI industry should deliberately slow down and laying out a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. The tweet itself is a sharp reaction calling it "the most self-serving bullshit essay," reflecting the controversy over a leading lab defining the pace debate on its own terms.
