Katja Grace: Are Altman, Musk and Amodei bringing their A game to AI safety?
NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-10-15
Nathan Young amplifies Katja Grace's argument questioning AI safety coordination: if Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei believe AI poses huge imminent risk, why aren't they coordinating on a mutual pause? Grace argues a joint pause among the four would likely be achievable—recruiting necessary cooperation and designing verification is tractable—and that while China's leader is one of the necessary people, the concrete difficulty is never spelled out. These are people including a Diplomacy world champion and world-class executors, yet they don't seem to be bringing their A game.
