'The problem is not "Will China cooperate?" but "Under what conditions will Beijing conclude that an unconstrained race is more dangerous to them than a freeze?"' — Eliezer Yudkowsky/Twitter — 15-09-2026


0. The core disagreement was about the inevitability of a race. 1. I think leadership is way too paranoid about China and the US government. They don't believe it will be possible to negotiate. 2. They largely initiated the recent race to RSI, because of a belief in its inevitability. Note that OpenAI had to shed a bunch of dead weight like Sora because Anthropic was going for the jugular. 3. Even if they are **not** being pessimistic, I disagree with their consequentialist philosophy. If the race is inevitable you should not contribute. — Jacob Coxon/Twitter — 15-09-2026

OpenAI is winning enterprise spend at the frontier. As of this week, Astra takes 13% of enterprise AI spend vs. Fable (8%) per Ramp data. Some early thoughts: 1. Anthropic took a big risk in its recent call to pace the frontier. It's frontier model has already fallen behind on adoption. 2. OpenAI's growth is primarily coming from shifts from Sol and some Anthropic models, net-new usage too. That's good for them and suggests some pricing power remains by having a good, competitive frontier model. — Ara Kharazian/Twitter — 15-09-2026

America should lead the world in developing artificial intelligence, and that leadership must keep people firmly in control.
