- Cambridge AI safety researcher David Krueger publicly endorsed Krystal Ball's call for an immediate halt to new research and training at frontier AI labs.
- The underlying argument: since the extent of previous safety incidents is still unknown, pausing frontier training until more is understood is justified. Krueger's "100%" response marks a notable shift in positions from leading safety figures.
