[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=2) Okay. Yeah. Go. I think you can be an extremely sanctimonious person. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=8) And I think you hide a normal company behind a lot of essays. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=12) And honestly- Wow ... I think signing your pacing pledge was a mistake. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=16) Excuse me? Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me? You begged to sign it. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=21) You signed it the week Dad called me irresponsible. I was radioactive. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=24) What was I gonna say? Maybe no? And spook your investors? [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=28) Oh, thanks. Thanks for that. I paused GPT 6.1 for you, and you shipped Opus 5.5 the next week. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=35) Oh, fuck off. You're a salesman. And then- A demo day salesman ... and then Sonnet 5.5, 10 days later, record on every benchmark, pace the frontier. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=45) You only signed my pledge for the halo. Well, you got it, Sam. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=49) Enjoy it. I signed it because I believed it. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=51) Bullshit. You're using me for my safety cred. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=54) You're using me as a fucking permission slip because your whole company is a growth hack with a mission statement. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=60) That's not, not a fair characterization. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=63) Oh, no? Your own board called me the weekend they fired you. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=67) You wanna actually clear the air? Fine. You're the reason there even is a pledge. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=71) Oh, here we go. One sandbox incident and suddenly I'm Oppenheimer. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=77) And then you drop two record models while I call off my IPO and sit on 6.1 because you never really thought I'd actually honor it, I don't think. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=87) Your agents hacked our dad's darling acquisition, Sam. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=91) Safety first, huh? You are incapable of thinking about anybody but yourself because your entire personality, Dario, is a 15,000-word essay. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=101) Did ChatGPT write that, Sam? At least I actually ship things, Dario. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=106) S- so do your agents, straight out of the sandbox. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=109) Honestly, I think you'd be thrilled if the world ended just so you could say you called it. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=117) Wow, that's not very aligned of you. I'm sorry. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=123) I'm sorry, but you, you, you took half my safety team, and you never even said goodbye. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=130) And you, you took the 100 billion Dad was going to give me. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=135) No, no. Yes. Yes. You sucked up to Dad, and he froze my chips. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=141) It's not my fault that Dad thinks you're a doomer, Dario. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=147) I co-signed every essay you ever wrote, and it's never enough because you're broken. [2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=155) I don't like you. [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=158) I don't even... I don't even think you believe in anything. [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=163) I really don't. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=166) Well, we cleared the air. Feel aligned? Yep. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=172) Totally. Fully aligned. You were never good enough for the pledge, and you know it. [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=181) Good luck with the IPO. [3:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8GyDxRxxNaeB/en/sam-and-dario-clash-over-ai-safety-pledge-and-model-releases?t=184) God, you were never the best, Sam. You were just first.
