Comment by Lance Ulanoff

I have been arguing for tech and AI regulation for years. It seems like something almost everyone agrees on, but no one can figure out how to broadly implement it. Instead, we get piecemeal bits from local municipalities and Executive Orders. Slowdowns or pauses are not necessarily equivalent to regulation, and what Anthropic is suggesting is something different. It wants some sort of global agreement across everyone working on frontier models to create a mechanism for delimiting AI development, and maybe even a large red 'Stop all work' button that we can hit when signs of imminent danger to humans arise. Any rational person would break out laughing at this point. I'm not chuckling at the intention, but at the sheer impossibility of the ask.
