Amodei names China as the 'toughest dilemma' for his own slowdown proposal, one day after publishing it
Speaking Sunday September 13, the day after 'We Must Pace the Frontier' went up, Amodei conceded that the hardest unsolved part of his plan is what democratic labs do if adversarial nations, China specifically, decline to pace alongside them. The admission arrives while Marcus is separately attacking the essay for treating China as a rhetorical target rather than a negotiating party, so the two critiques converge on the same gap. The essay's other commitments — embedded third-party evaluators with employee-like access, and coordinated safety standards among democratic labs — depend on an answer he does not yet have.
