Researcher Quits: “Gambling With Our Lives,” Altman Calls for Slowdown, and Labs Race
"The world has extremely capable models now. I did not expect a result of this magnitude to happen so soon. We've been talking a lot about the need to pace progress to ensure safety. For me, this is the strongest evidence yet for that urgency."
Peter Diamandis reads a statement he attributes to OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, linking OpenAI’s claimed Navier–Stokes breakthrough to calls to slow AI progress for safety. Diamandis then invites discussion about whether the messaging reflects genuine concern, marketing, or politics.
