Last week was not a warning to slow down. It was the announcement that the real AI race has begun, and it is now global.
Why did an Anthropic researcher resign?
He warned publicly that AI labs are racing toward more powerful systems faster than they can guarantee safety. Bloomberg reported that his post reached over a hundred million views within days. Read it as competitive intelligence, not just a warning.
Why did the CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI call for caution?
Both leaders, separately, and Elon Musk alongside them, said the pace of development needs more restraint. This came from inside the industry, not from critics of it.
Why did President Trump reject a slowdown?
CNN reported that he dismissed the concerns publicly and said the US cannot afford to lose ground to China, framing AI leadership as a race the US must win outright, not a moment to cut the AI budget.
Why does a cheap Chinese model matter to your strategy?
DeepSeek’s newest model and Z.ai’s GLM are both dramatically cheaper to run than the leading US models, and closing the capability gap quickly. The competition is no longer one country against another. It is several labs, several countries, all accelerating at once.
What does this mean for your AI investment?
It means AI is not slowing down, whatever happens in the markets. Which kind of leader you are right now determines your first move, but every leader needs the same thing: a real strategy and a team they trust.
If you are leading your organization through this, this is the kind of work I do with a limited number of senior leaders each quarter. → https://anglero.com/the-reset/
