It's really frustrating that Dario acts as if he's not the CEO of one of the world's most advanced AI companies. He can just slow down his own company. Of course he doesn't want that. He wants to slow down other companies, but not his own.
Also, regarding the incidents: Neither he nor Sam Altman takes responsibility for those incidents. You can't say, "Wow, someone's agent is gone rogue; let's slow down" when you are literally the person in charge. CEOs and researchers will only slow down when they realize that they will face consequences if their LLMs misbehave.

He doesn't need to take responsibility - as CEO, he has that implicitly. And we know it.
He can slow down his own company kind of like how Zelenskyy can just declare peace in Ukraine. It works a lot better if you can get the other sides to agree.
Give that Dario is one of the frontiers of LLM development, literally started the LLM race, and have been dominating the market, so he'd be Russia, if we have to use the war analogy.
He took every benefits of being frontiers and now he's kicking the ladder.
It's frustrating to see smart people failing to recognize a prisoner's dilemma when they see one.
What is the prisoner's dilemma here? I am a dumb person
"I'm not going to let someone else take the credit for ending human civilisation!"
Or like Von Neumann's (paraphrased) "you need to confess a crime to take credit from it"
So in this example, the equivalent of Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people fighting for their lives and the very existence of their country for Dario is... losing lots of money?
What a ridiculous analogy to make.
If you played out the hypothetical that they're earnest and don't care about the money, then what?
