Update
What changedThe Guardian adds a sharper political and market edge to the frontier-AI slowdown debate. Donald Trump rejected calls for guardrails as a “sick conspiracy”, while the paper reports Nvidia fell 3%, AMD 4.4%, Micron and SanDisk 5%, and SoftBank 13% as AI-linked shares came under pressure. Those moves followed calls from Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX leaders to slow what they described as reckless development. The figures show that the argument is now reaching both government and markets, but they do not prove the debate caused every wobble on the screen. The practical question is whether this becomes policy, or remains a remarkably confident post in a very expensive conversation.
Sources and evidence- The Guardian: The Guardian reports that Donald Trump dismissed calls for AI guardrails as a “sick conspiracy” and said AI needed only a “strong and smart” president.
