He wrote that neither company is acting responsibly. In his account, people building AI earnestly believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade; OpenAI staff have not internalized this, while Anthropic staff understand it but feel locked in a race. He said he was giving up equity that would have vested two months later. Hours later Evan Hubinger, an Anthropic alignment lead, quote-tweeted him to agree, which made the story much larger. It came in the same stretch as GPT-6 Astra's launch (Sept 3), the German-wiki agent disclosure (Sept 4) and debate over Astra's reduced chain-of-thought monitorability. Reuters later grouped these as \"ten days that changed the course of AI\".\n\n## Why it matters\n\nIt is the most-viewed AI-safety post of 2026. Within four days Dario Amodei published \"We Must Pace the Frontier\", and Musk (\"Dario is right\") and Altman publicly agreed, the first time the heads of the leading labs jointly endorsed slowing the frontier. Critics, including security experts quoted by Scientific American and partisan outlets alleging PR coordination, questioned how it was
