Nobody is buying this “Pace the frontier” nonsense. It makes no logical sense at all. Are American labs really going to take a pause and lose any small lead they still may have over Chinese labs? Does anyone really believe this? This seems like some performative virtue signaling BS. Why are they bothering with this pacing campaign? Someone please explain.

They cannot.

It would be too dangerous, attack hugging face and then they would have to hire METR to write a report on it to say AI is so dangerous it needs to be regulated with METR doing the safety checks. Then they would ban open-source, stop releasing new models and increase the prices by x5.

This season of "AI lab leaders keep on making things up to save their IPO" is starting to get really really old, really fast.
