Billionaire David Sacks to Sam Altman and Dario Amodei's call to slowdown AI development

David Sacks has sharply criticized Sam Altman and Dario Amodei's calls for slowing AI development. He urged the tech leaders to halt their work voluntarily if they believe models pose threats. Sacks argued that OpenAI and Anthropic already control the industry's pace and capabilities. He also suggested their motivation might be financial liability rather than pure altruism. Sacks believes immediate voluntary action would build significant goodwill for future discussions.
