Daniel Kokotajlo @DKokotajlo · 4h Yeah. Because I don't trust the companies, I am a bit worried that all this talk of pacing the frontier will result in regulatory capture, BUT if that happens we will be able to tell because it'll be obvious that the frontier isn't actually being paced because other companies aren't catching up to it and the overall pace of progress will still be blindingly fast. An actual pacing of the frontier would be the opposite of regulatory capture because it would slow down the leading companies like anthropic and openai more than it would slow down the laggards.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Daniel Kokotajlo's quote-reply on 'pacing the frontier' and regulatory capture: real pacing would hurt leading labs more than laggards, so capture would be detectable by the frontier not actually slowing. Quotes roon's post that pacing imposes asymmetric costs on the strongest US labs.
