   > 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.

      Isn't the idea that they claim to be willing to slow down if everyone does (ie governments force everyone to), but otherwise they won't slow down because they still think they'll make the best choices with superintelligence if they get there first? That's my understanding of what all the major labs claim to believe anyway.

         It’s just another cry for regulatory capture which imo is the only way they stay afloat at their current direction.

         China is literally only a single step behind and willing to drop free models just to undercut the US companies.

         I’m for it because I don’t want another massive Google or Meta.

            It's incredible how much of your world view is composed entirely of talking points

               Is it as incredible as your 11 day old account is simping hard for 5 trillion riding on like three AI companies?

               I shouldn’t be, I’m still always surprised that no matter how silly and obvious the fear mongering and propaganda is… someone is always lining up to vehemently defend it.
