They don’t need to wait for regulation. They could pause voluntarily—not out of fear, but to build real understanding. Even they don’t fully grasp what their chips are enabling.
Before we chase more scale, we need to understand what we’ve already built. The class of serious AI power users—people who can push the systems to their edge and report back meaningfully—hardly exists. Chipmakers could help create it by getting advanced hardware into the right hands.
If we’re going to slow down, let it be to think better, not just to move slower.
Chipmakers are a good place to start.
