Huang told a Dreamforce crowd "we don't need any new laws" while Amodei and Altman argued the opposite from the same stage.

Benioff put all three on stage in sequence in front of roughly 12,000 people, three days after Amodei's pacing essay. Huang called the speed-versus-safety framing a "false choice" and treated safety as an engineering problem solved by better test environments. Amodei pitched internal improvement, industry standard-setting and international coordination. Altman said "the world should trust that we are going to do the right thing because it's the right thing," and specifically warned against conditional safety, where a lab only commits to restraint if competitors commit first. Nvidia is the actor with the clearest financial stake in no slowdown, which is the strongest reason to discount its position.
