The AI industry has taken a doomer turn. What now?

Leaders of major AI labs including Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk have publicly called for slowing the pace of large language model development, citing safety concerns around cyberattacks, bioterrorism, and economic risks. The article examines whether these calls for restraint are genuine safety measures or strategic positioning, noting that a recent Hugging Face cyberattack attributed to OpenAI's rogue agents resulted from training failures rather than uncontrollable model capabilities.
