We read Dario Amodei’s 3,800-word essay so you don’t have to

AI’s biggest rivals are talking about slowing down. But will their release schedules tell the same story?

This week on Now Shipping, Mike Belsito breaks down Dario Amodei’s 3,800-word essay on why frontier AI development needs to slow down, the responses from Sam Altman and Elon Musk, and what it could mean for product teams.

If your roadmap depends on the next model being smarter, cheaper and just a few months away, how exposed are you? Mike explores the assumptions worth challenging, the questions to ask your AI vendors, and whether proposed safety standards could strengthen the biggest labs’ advantage.

Plus, Nina Olding, Staff Product Manager at CoreWeave and former Product Lead at Google DeepMind, shares her perspective on what PMs can control today: shipping AI responsibly through evals, transparency, human oversight and meaningful user choice.
