Dario Amodei—cofounder and chief executive of Anthropic—published a nearly 4,000-word essay titled, “We Must Pace the Frontier.” “Over the last few months, I have become convinced that fully addressing the risks requires even more prudence—not just investing in risk prevention, but pacing the rate of capabilities advancement so that risk prevention has time to keep up,” Amodei wrote. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said on X that he agreed with Amodei. “This has been a primary topic of discussions we’ve had at OpenAI in recent weeks,” Altman wrote. “Committing to having independent evaluators with…Open
