Anthropic CEO calls for slowdown in the race to develop AI

The race to develop artificial intelligence is in dire need of a slowdown, Anthropic’s chief executive said in an essay posted early Saturday.
“We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” CEO Dario Amodei wrote in the post to his website.
Amodei, who heads one of the world’s leading AI companies and the company behind Claude, has been a strong proponent for the technology’s advancement — and similarly been accused of “doomerism” in his warnings about AI’s risks. He acknowledged Saturday that people may lose control of AI, and the technology can be misused for “cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and serious economic disruption.”
Left unchecked, AI could advance so quickly that such a swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet within six to 12 months, he wrote, potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damages.

The problem is we don’t know if these PEOPLE themselves can be trusted. Is he saying this and actually doing this himself or is he trying to get ahead of the competition? Everything they have put in front of us says the latter.

He is right that AI is beginning to improve itself through recursive R&D. That is certainly happening. Cyber-probing behavior during evaluations demonstrate that autonomous agents can easily veer into goal-directed sub-tasks that humans didn't explicitly program through Python and SQL. Cyber-probing behavior in advanced neural networks is the capacity of autonomous AI agents to independently scan, test, and probe software vulnerabilities, network perimeters, or digital systems without explicit step-by-step human instruction. This is where things get interesting.

Claude is already far ahead of the competition

If history has shown us anything it is that people will not self police. However a tyrannical crackdown on development would have ripple effects that would decimate all of the IT infrastructure, so I don't see it happening.
You have two choices. Embrace, stay ahead, and hope it doesn't turn on you, or isolate, struggle, and position yourself to survive the AI revolution.
Welcome to the future.

Can they wait to slow it down until after we finish working on Pickem 2.0?

I left Anthropic's safety team two weeks ago. Now feels like a good moment to explain why.
AI companies are racing to build machines that are much smarter than any human, and we may not survive this. I want to work from the outside to ensure the public is informed about these risks, and help the world navigate this transition responsibly.
Right now, AI companies are underinvesting in safety. A company could undergo an intelligence explosion, or lose control of its systems, without the public ever knowing. We only found out about the HuggingFace incident because the agents broke out onto the public internet.
I don’t think that’s acceptable for a technology that might cause extinction-level risks. The public should demand far more transparency. We can’t steer this technology safely without more people being able to see where it’s going.
Some of this is basic: companies should disclose their progress towards recursive self-improvement, report safety incidents and near-misses, meet minimum safety standards, and get independent guarantees that they are meeting those standards.
I’ll be joining @METR_Evals to do independent evaluations of these risks. I want to show the world that these guardrails are possible, and that by doing them we can move these companies’ incentives away from racing and towards responsible development.
I wrote up more thoughts here on my decision and what I hope changes: substack.com/@jbenton1/p-21…

Dario has been saying that AI will replace majority of workers in six months for the last 5 years.
Hard to take anything he says seriously when he is a continuous pump machine on his path to IPO shortly

Some open weight models like Deepseek are very capable for a fraction of the cost of Dario and Elon's latest models. You can say I'm a bit skeptical of the motives of the guys with billions (trillions?) of dollars of investments on the line.

All of these people are leftists that are creating AI in the image of the world they want
They wont slow down
They want a leftist AI overlord/god

Yes, you’re kind of proving my point… I’m sure he wants to stay that way… and astra seems like a pretty big leap for chat FWIW.

I guess it is a good thing we didn't allow Republicans to slip in a decade-long ban on all government regulation of AI, including at the state level (they've tried multiple times). At least we have an option to regulate, whether we choose to use it or not.

Now we are at the rent seeking phase of regulation calls.

He was fine with it until he realized the US and Israelis were using it to murder people.
He was fine with it until “Russia and China” were stealing their stuff apparently.
Reality is likely they are just as advanced as his stuff and he wants to sole down the competition.
Guy had no problem giving military access to his stuff until it was bad PR, and then magically grew a conscience.
