Zvi's commentary on Dario Amodei's 'We Must Pace the Frontier' essay and the endorsements from Altman, Musk and Hassabis.
Summary
Zvi analyses Dario Amodei's essay (darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier): slowing capability development to make room for safety, embedded third-party evaluators with employee-level access, coordination among frontier labs and eventually with China. He sees real progress but flags hurdles: evaluator funding independence and qualifications and telling real oversight from performative safety. He links endorsements by Sam Altman (x.com/sama/status/2098811563415150910), Elon Musk (2098789109980332057) and Demis Hassabis (2098909516582490602) — IDs as linked in the post, not independently verified here.
