Cohere's disagreement seems mostly about who makes the rules. From the essay:
> The rules around AI are getting written either way. What's still open is whether they get written by a group anyone can join and with evidence anyone can check, or by a handful of companies in a room with the door shut.
Of course none of the AI companies will suggest that they should be accountable for illegal behavior of agents under their control, but I feel like that could be a very effective "pacing mechanism", simple to understand, and fair to all.
I believe this is a reaction to Dario Amodei's essay yesterday, "We Must Pace the Frontier": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49672510
