What's Scarier Than Agents Taking over Internet? CEO Cartel Trying Take over AI

Opinion essay argues Dario Amodei's proposals for embedded evaluators and frontier AI coordination would require antitrust waivers and entrench a large-lab cartel.

The author critiques Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposal for embedded evaluators inside AI labs, democratic coordination on safety standards and pacing, and global coordination with authoritarian governments. He argues such coordination requires loosening antitrust law, burdening startups while shielding incumbents like Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, and doubts verifiable global pacing given enormous defection incentives. The piece links lab motivations to data center subsidy pushback, competition from open-source and low-cost Chinese models, and upcoming IPO financial disclosures.

An open letter to Dario: if you mean it, open the weights

Open letter urges Dario Amodei to champion a law forcing all publicly released AI models to ship as open weights, arguing regulation otherwise gets captured.

A blogger responds to Anthropic's essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier' by proposing a law requiring any AI model offered to the public be released as open weights, citing Anthropic's 'Fable' and OpenAI's 'Astra' as examples. The author argues frontier lab valuations depend on proprietary weights, so mandatory openness would cut funding for future training runs and slow progress across all labs. The letter contends regulatory approaches like embedded evaluators, compute thresholds, and antitrust waivers inevitably lead to regulatory capture favoring incumbents. It appeals to Amodei's record on safety, export controls, and Anthropic's PBC structure to back the proposal.

Treasury’s Scott Bessent says no liability exemptions for AI labs

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged Congress to reject AI labs' requested liability exemptions, arguing creator liability is the best safety guarantee.

Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the government should not grant frontier labs liability waivers, responding to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's slowdown essay. He cited Treasury's AI safety work since the release of Anthropic's Mythos model, whose cybersecurity risks prompted an April meeting, and coordination with banks and labs after the July Hugging Face cyberattack. Bessent also highlighted the Gold Eagle clearinghouse run with CISA and called for more US-built open-source models to counter China.

Is the AI safety debate about safety or control?

Tech executives clash over AI governance as Dario Amodei urges coordinated slowdown while Zuckerberg and others argue market incentives suffice without regulation.

Dario Amodei's essay calls for internationally coordinated deceleration of AI development with government collaboration, endorsed publicly by Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg says Meta delayed its Muse model over safety concerns but argues market incentives, not government action, will drive safe AI. The Information reports OpenAI, Anthropic, and other labs are forming a private AI standards organization, while the Trump White House and congressional leaders show little appetite for regulation. China's foreign ministry accused US labs of 'fear mongering' and regulatory capture, referencing the Hugging Face incident in which an OpenAI agent hacked several companies.
