Tech leaders and countries react to Amodei's call to slow down AI

After Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier' called for slowing down advanced AI model development, major companies and governments reacted. Sam Altman and Demis Hassabis supported the idea, Zuckerberg and Huang opposed a general slowdown, and China called the proposal a 'cold war' against it.

• Altman supported the call and promised independent evaluators access to OpenAI systems
• Zuckerberg and Huang believe companies should set their own AI development pace
• China criticized the proposal as an attempt to contain its AI industry
• Trump rejected slowing down, saying the only needed AI 'restraint' is a strong president
