Episode #95: The Fool's Gold Problem, Dario's "We Must Pace the Frontier"

This week on The Learning Corner, Mia and Charles dig into Gil Dibner's argument that venture has barbelled into two extremes, a tiny set of consensus darlings that can raise at any price and everyone else, who are increasingly paying pure gold prices for fool's gold. Then they turn to Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier," the rare moment where Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk all agreed the AI industry needs to slow down. They unpack what "pacing" actually means, and whether it is good or bad news for the thousands of startups building on top of these models.
