David Sacks hits back at Sam Altman, Dario over AI slowdown call; says 'Stop pretending, do it'

White House's ex-AI adviser David Sacks criticised OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over calls to slow the pace of AI development. He said, "If...unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down...stop pretending you need anyone else's permission." "Go ahead and pace the frontier. You're the ones setting it...just do it," he added.
