## Resource

Mark Zuckerberg is pushing back against calls for a global pause on AI development, arguing that companies like Meta are already motivated to build safely due to legal risks and responsibility. He points to Meta’s own delay in releasing Muse AI as proof they’re taking safety seriously — and says the focus should be on AI that directly helps people, not self-improving systems. Instead of coordinated pauses, he believes each company should manage its own pace and safety protocols. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
