Anthropic's paper called for a global slowdown or pause in frontier AI development, noting that over 80% of its own codebase is now written by Claude. OpenAI's CEO proposed an international body to coordinate AI risk reduction. Critics note the contradiction: going public subjects both companies to quarterly growth pressure that is structurally incompatible with voluntary slowdowns.
