   > Claude Opus 5.5 is our first release since we called for pacing the frontier.

   Interesting how the very first line is used to remind the reader of their call to pace the frontier just last week, and everything else after that line is to demonstrate with very specific numbers how they absolutely are not pacing.

      In any professional sport, anyone can lobby the rules committee for a rules change and hope for the best. Meanwhile if you can't get one, you play the game by the existing set of rules, and you play to win.

         Except that this isn't sports and they tell us that all humans will die if they continue like they do.

         If their scare was honest, they would stop.

            If they think they might be better than alignment than others and everyone else isn't stopping, then continuing makes sense.

               Can you explain the scenario where Anthropic getting to “aligned” superintelligence first blocks their competitors from creating unaligned superintelligence?

            therefore, their scare is marketing.
