Amodei's Sept 12 essay proposes slowing AI capability growth via a three-part plan; Anthropic unilaterally committed to the first step, giving third-party evaluators permanent employee-level access. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis endorsed the proposal, while critics called it vague or regulatory capture.
