Fair. My probability is more like 1-2%. I do think that having a team of professional negotiators seems a reasonable suggestion though. I predict the Anthropic position would be that this is really hard to achieve in general, but that if slowing down was ever achieved we would need much stronger evidence of safety issues. In addition to all the commercial pressure, slowing down now could be considered to violate antitrust law. And it seems way harder to get all the other actors like Meta or DeepSeek or xAI on board, meaning I don’t even know if I think it’s good for some of the leading actors to unilaterally slow things down now (I predict mildly net good, but with massive uncertainty and downsides)
