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]
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
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.

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!

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.
