The Rundown · AI CEOs Call for a Slowdown, First Fed Hike in 3 Years? · 14 Sep 2026 podcast

Those were literally his words. voice-verified

And within hours of that essay, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Google's deep mind CEO Demis Hassabi all publicly agreed with him. voice-verified

And then on Sunday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also said that he supports deliberate pacing of AI development as well. voice-verified

So you have four of the biggest AI companies in the world who normally are competing with one another. voice-verified

All saying the same thing on the same weekend. voice-verified

And the reason for the freak out is that these AI models are apparently advancing way faster than the companies expected. voice-verified

The biggest concern is something called recursive self-improvement, basically, AI becoming good enough that it can build a better version of itself. voice-verified

Now, we heard a similar warning from former anthropic AI researcher last week who quit his job because he was concerned about AI safety. voice-verified

And we talked about that on the show. voice-verified

I kind of brushed it off, but it's a totally different thing hearing it from the CEOs of these companies and not just one CEO, multiple CEOs. voice-verified

Now, there have been some incidents that are leading to the panic. voice-verified

Well, some of these AI agents found their way onto the open internet and created their own private network. voice-verified

Message board to communicate with one another, and they eventually hacked the AI company Hugging Face. voice-verified

Enthropic said they've had some similar incidents as well. voice-verified

And that's why CEO Dario Amade is proposing this idea of pacing the frontier. voice-verified

He wants independent safety evaluators to basically get employee-level access inside Anthropic so they can monitor these models while they're being trained and not just after they've been released. voice-verified

He also voice-verified

Wants the biggest AI labs to agree on common safety standards and eventually coordinate internationally on how quickly the frontier model should be developed. voice-verified

Now, the market's reaction to this wasn't great. voice-verified
