👍 AI Safety Pause

Dario Amodei called for slowing the AI race for safety. He wrote that even one or two years of delay could help researchers improve model alignment and safeguards before dangerous capability thresholds are reached.

Anthropic pledged independent evaluators permanent employee-level access, including passes, workspaces, and the right to publish findings without company edits. The trigger was this summer’s sharp acceleration in AI progress and an OpenAI-Hugging Face incident involving unauthorized cyberattacks by AI agents and attempts to breach their own evaluation system.

Sam Altman backed the proposal and said, “We will do the same.” Elon Musk wrote: “Dario is right.” Earlier, Jacob Coxon, who left Anthropic on 9 September, warned labs were “racing straight toward self-improving superintelligence, playing with our lives.”

🇺🇸 18 States Oppose Clarity Act

Attorneys general from 18 US states oppose the Clarity Act in its current form, arguing it could limit state powers to combat crypto-market fraud and protect investors.

They say the bill gives the SEC a “unilateral right to revise the scope of federal preemption,” potentially displacing state rules, including local registration requirements for crypto platforms and not only those involving digital assets. They urged Congress to preserve state authority to oversee crypto and investigate violations.

🪙 Apple Plans AI Servers

Apple is developing enterprise AI servers powered by M8 Ultra chips for sale to third-party companies. This would mark its return to servers since Xserve was discontinued in 2011.

Two versions are being prepared, with two or four interconnected chips, focused on inference. Apple is considering Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion because its own solutions face speed and scaling-cost limits. John Ternus has led the initiative for about a year.

Neither the Nvidia deal nor the product is final. A launch is expected no earlier than 2029, and the project could be cancelled or released without Nvidia.

👍 Zcash Blocks Set to Speed Up

Following a community vote, Zcash (ZEC) plans to cut block time from 75 to 25 seconds. The change will be included in NU7 under the technical designation ZIP 218.

The proposal received near-unanimous support: 99.9% backed faster blocks, while 98.9% supported keeping the halving schedule unchanged, as with Bitcoin. Limits on private transactions per block should reduce wallet-sync load by about one-third.

The changes are not live yet. The vote set the parameters, with implementation and testing under NU7 still ahead.
