Anthropic and OpenAI are free to advance AI development and should do so for business reasons, rather than waiting for a preferred regulatory framework. This view is expressed by David Sacks, who suggests that the companies should "pace the frontier" of AI development.

Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, and OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, have called for the industry to slow down the development of advanced AI models. Amodei proposed introducing additional safeguards, including independent third-party evaluations. Elon Musk of xAI also supported Amodei's proposal.

The calls for restraint in AI development may have a short-term impact on chipmaker and supply-chain stocks, but are unlikely to have a lasting effect on the industry. According to investors, demand for chips, energy, and computing power continues to outstrip supply, which may limit the impact of any slowdown in AI development.
