AI’s ‘Pacing’ Obsession Misses Real Political Problem

Dario Amodei typically isn’t considered some camera-ready media maestro. His interview quotes aren’t particularly pithy, and he struggles to control his strained facial expressions.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for his part, told staff at a companywide town hall meeting earlier this week that he supported a testing and auditing organization for the AI industry but believed that major AI labs would have to create a standards body on their own without the support of the U.S. government, a person familiar with the comments said.
