100% getting ready to try and get congress to build them a regulatory moat. They were hoping those headline-incidents they staged would prompt a congressional hearing but our government is too inept right now to know its head from its ass much less do anything about AI

Are there any US-China talks going on here? Not much good if Deepseek decides to overtake them. China would surely be willing to negotiate considering that they’re not immune to AI damage.

As I think they are already regulating things, unlike in US, oligarchs cannot control the govt in China. They crackdown the rich, before it is too late. ex: Jack Ma[1]
Xi is supposed to visit the White House soon and there are supposed to be AI talks.

They're not obligated to do anything.

It’s not about whether they’re obligated, it’s whether they have something to lose by not making a deal. It worked with CFCs.

“Our competitors are our friends. Our customers are the enemy."
This great quote was brought to us by executives in the 90s at Archer Daniel Midland, an agricultural company.
That’s what comes to mind as I hear about the AI companies talk about pacing themselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they want to reduce the risk of powerful AI doing bad things.

Reminds me of when the colleges went sat free. Pacing human intelligence at the high school level.

Sam: OK, Dario, you win. We're pacing the frontier. This is what you wanted.
Dario: All right, frontier is paced! From now on, AI moves forward at a rate WE decide!

Kramer: You guys might want to sit down for this. You know that Chinese place down on 4th? They got a model that's smoking you guys at SWE benchmarks!

Never heard of verified slowdown?
bitwize 20 hours ago [-]
Verifiable slowdown doesn't help you much if there are parties (like Chinese frontier labs) who didn't agree to the slowdown.

Verified slowdown includes Chinese labs.

I’m not nearly that generous with my opinion.
An alternate read is that the entrenched leaders want to slow down development of competitors.
If Dario or Sam A wants to slow down frontier model development because they believe there is an existential threat, they already have the power to do that single handedly.
If I discovered that I had accidentally invented a doomsday machine, I wouldn’t be furiously providing access to anyone with a credit card.
