OpenAI and Anthropic, two big names in AI, are teaming up to slow down how fast their tech is moving forward.
They're doing this because researchers have flagged some real safety concerns about super-rapid AI progress.
But the decision hasn't landed smoothly; employees at both companies are feeling the pressure as they try to adjust to these new recommendations to slow AI's rate of progress.
