They all agree they want a slow down, but I'm pretty sure they also agree that it would require China to buy in to be effective, right? I don't think this will ever happen. I think this is just them talking the talk of safety. I don't think it has any substance.

Part of their strategy of the “slowdown” is the perceived issue of danger (self propagated) which can only be addressed by limiting access to the 2 major players, excluding all other companies (eg chinese). Government controls incentivize their financial lifeline and prohibit competition

I was thinking about this today and part of me wonders if they are all playing a game of chicken with one another to see who they can get to slowdown first while they leap ahead.

I think it's a ploy to get better regulations now vs after January when a far more hostile Congress is likely to be in office. If they pass some bullshit law now they can have token regs and lots of tax breaks.

No, see, they mean a criticism slowdown. They're going to need all of humanity to stop criticizing them or they'll be forced to end humanity.

Doesn't the media handle that part of it for them?

if we had a functioning antitrust division this would be a big problem!

Also, isn't "we can't slow down" still being blasted to every town fighting a data center because "China is gonna git us!" If we do? This is absolutely an attempt to ease into the crash slightly lighter

When they miss their revenue targets, they'll now have an excuse - "We had to slow down for safety's sake" (wink wink).

Big "You didn't make me stop. I wanted to stop" energy.

They expect things to clear up in two weeks lol

For some reason I am reminded of the LLMs running vending machines and agreeing to all price fix; but then immediately turning around and lowering prices to undercut the others that agreed to the higher prices.

I want ai companies to shut down

I'm assuming it means "don't worry investors, we're not hitting an upper limit"

In fairness, I uploaded all of Walter Benjamin's works to AI and now it's like I have an exact replica of Benjamin to talk to.

In the beginning of this year Seedance2 started generating clips indistinguishable from either reality or professional productions. MinimaxH3 now generates videos in less than 1 second. Ai Agents now can interact directly with programs meant only for human interfacing. Etc etc. It hasnt slowed down.
