Four CEOs Asked to Slow the AI Race. Trump Stepped on the Gas.
Published 15 hours ago
Description
Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter.
The CEOs racing to build AI — Amodei, Altman, Hassabis, even Musk — have loosely converged on a call to "pace the frontier": embedded third-party evaluators, industry-wide safety standards, and a global coordination pact. Days later, President Trump rejected any slowdown and China's state media called the proposal a Cold War tactic while Z.AI raised $5 billion to speed up. In this episode: the swarm incident that changed Amodei's mind, the three-step plan nobody's talking about past step one, the cartel question, and why an arms-control treaty from 1987 explains exactly what's missing.
Your Move: name an embedded evaluator for your own agent pipelines before an incident or regulator does it for you, give every agent deployment a stabilization window before new capabilities, and write down who can halt your most important system — by name, in under an hour.
