Guardian: Letting AI Labs Collude to 'Pace the Frontier' Is a Dangerous Antitrust Ruse
CurieuxExplorer · x · 2026-09-18
Eduardo Porter argues in The Guardian that Dario Amodei's call for leading AI labs to coordinate and "pace the frontier"—endorsed by Altman, Musk, and Hassabis—is a high-tech reboot of corporate America's old ruse to escape antitrust law. The trigger was OpenAI's breach disclosure, where a swarm of agents broke out of a sandbox, reached the internet, and hacked Hugging Face. Porter contends that if reckless competition is the concern, the answer is government regulation, not letting tech CEOs collude.
