Statement summary
Schulman calls for OpenAI and Anthropic to jointly develop a proposal for pacing AI development before involving the US government. He rejects antitrust as an excuse for failing to prepare such a proposal and criticizes involving government without a concrete plan.
“First step is for industry leaders OpenAI and Anthropic to stop feuding and work on a pacing proposal together.”

Why we used this label
Schulman calls out feuding and dismisses the antitrust excuse. Sequencing a policy remedy before government involvement does not create an opposing assessment of the current failure.
