Dario Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" essay draws OpenAI, xAI backing

Amodei's Sept 12 essay proposes three steps: embedded third-party evaluators (Anthropic committing unilaterally, with desks, badges and laptops), democratic-lab coordination, and eventual international coordination. OpenAI followed; Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis endorsed. No lab committed to halting training runs or cutting spending.
