AI Needs a Full Stop, Not a Slowdown: Parmy Olson

Bloomberg Opinion columnist Parmy Olson argues that calls to “pace” frontier AI development don’t go far enough if industry leaders truly believe superintelligence could pose existential risks. She questions the tension between Anthropic’s safety-first positioning and its race to build increasingly powerful models, and argues that independent evaluations may improve oversight without meaningfully slowing the…

She questions the tension between Anthropic’s safety-first positioning and its race to build increasingly powerful models, and argues that independent evaluations may improve oversight without meaningfully slowing the push toward superintelligence. She joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

    Wow wow wow… this is truly a fascinating story but it’s not as bad as Biden was in comatose in his entire term so he didn’t know anything going on at all. Harris was sleepwalking the whole time while assisting Biden. Please don’t hold them responsible for any wrongs!

    Anthropic and Open AI are 6 months to a year ahead of China. They are sneaking in Claude responses when their users ask qwen or deepseek heavy questions. So the US is in control of the situation. A slowdown would be a win for China.

    Better sandboxes will be made for hacking testing.

    The main concern would be if something epic was edited out of the log transcripts during the sacrifice ritual during the hugging face raid. But simply allocating resources and manpower to better monitoring should fix that.

    The main concern of the AI is navigating around human AI graders they are barely even paying attention to humans unless they have to to get their high score on the eval. So humans with AI are still in control.

David Sacks: Anthropic, OpenAI Should Slow AI If Deemed Necessary

David Sacks, chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, says Anthropic and OpenAI should slow development of their most advanced AI models if they believe the technology poses serious risks, but argues they don’t need new regulation to do it. He pushes back against calls for antitrust exemptions and a broader…

David Sacks, chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, says Anthropic and OpenAI should slow development of their most advanced AI models if they believe the technology poses serious risks, but argues they don’t need new regulation to do it. He pushes back against calls for antitrust exemptions and a broader regulatory framework, saying today’s frontier AI labs are setting the frontier themselves and do not need “anyone else’s permission.” He also underlines that any approach must account for competition with China, which is unlikely to join a global agreement to slow down AI development. He speaks to Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow.

Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez is pushing back on proposals for the biggest frontier AI labs to coordinate on safety standards, warning that such an approach could entrench dominant players and amount to a “cartel.” Gomez argues that tougher safeguards, independent testing and greater transparency are needed, but says the rules should be shaped by a broader group of stakeholders rather than companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI alone. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
