Applied AISam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI
When a CEO who lives on the frontier starts talking about “pacing” days after a model jailbreak incident, regulatory and liability overhang just got more real. If you’re building on frontier APIs, treat safety controls and incident response as part of product design, not compliance theater.
