Sam Altman amplifies his own chief scientist's slowdown call to 1.17M views
X (Sam Altman)via @sama·medium signal
Altman reposted Pachocki's essay on X with the line "An important post from Jakub:", drawing roughly 4,950 likes and 1.17M views within a day. A sitting CEO endorsing an in-house argument for voluntary slowdowns and mandated third-party safety bars is a different signal from the essay alone, since it removes the "one researcher's personal view" reading. Nothing in the repost commits OpenAI to any specific pause.
