Isn't the idea that they claim to be willing to slow down if everyone does (ie governments force everyone to), but otherwise they won't slow down because they still think they'll make the best choices with superintelligence if they get there first? That's my understanding of what all the major labs claim to believe anyway.
Did no one in this entire HN thread read past the headline of the post from Amodei? He wrote a very clear set of actions Anthropic is taking.
It is remarkable seeing whole other subthreads here criticising the vagueness of the words "pacing the frontier", as if no text existed below the title.
It’s just another cry for regulatory capture which imo is the only way they stay afloat at their current direction.
China is literally only a single step behind and willing to drop free models just to undercut the US companies.
I’m for it because I don’t want another massive Google or Meta.
