Quoting Jeremy Howard

# A quote from Jeremy Howard Source: [https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/10/jeremy-howard/](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/10/jeremy-howard/) 10th June 2026 > Easy solution to slow down recursive AI self improvement: - The lab with the top\-ranked model must agree THEY must not use it for working on frontier AI - But everyone else should have access to it\. By definition, this means the frontier doesn't advance\. It also has the critical benefit of avoiding a dangerous power imbalance\. Anthropic has chosen the*opposite*of the safe path: they are allowing themselves, the current top lab, to use their top model for frontier AI research\. They've said they'll sabotage others who try\. This means the AI frontier advances, & power imbalance increases\. \(To be clear,*I*don't think we should try to slow down recursive AI self improvement \- I think we should open it up and democratize it as much as possible\. My point is: if*you*claim we should slow down, and you have the best model, you should ensure your org can't use it\.\) —[Jeremy Howard](https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/2064595816875217362),in a Twitter thread
