Abstract

NLW examines a notable shift in the AI pacing debate: leaders at rival AI labs are publicly backing Anthropic’s proposal for an AI slowdown. The episode walks through what Dario Amodei is proposing, why competitors are supporting it, and the competing arguments over safety, self-interest, and who gets to set the pace of AI development — including whether a voluntary slowdown can hold without enforcement.
