AI巨头呼吁放缓开发，Oracle取消减持，沙特关闭输油管道

News when you want it with Bloomberg News now. I'm Ed Kalegi, leaders of the world's biggest artificial intelligence platform. Say it's time to slow the development pace of their most advanced and most lucrative models. Citing escalating risks of the technology, anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a lengthy blog post Saturday saying his company would implement new safety steps, such as third party evaluators, while calling on the industry to support a broader downshift.

OpenAI chief Sam Altman quickly pledged to adopt Amazon's suggestion of independent evaluators with employee like access. While Elon Musk, who runs Ziggy, wrote Dario is right. While all three leaders have over the years warned of the risks of AI, an actual coordinated slowdown has little precedent in a cutthroat industry that has historically cranked out one product after another in the name of boosting user engagement, grabbing market share, and striving for sales gains.

But the anxiety about severe AI risks has begun to enter the mainstream. Driven in part by this week's high profile resignation of an anthropic researcher over existential fears that his company was acting irresponsibly. Oracle chairman Larry Ellison has canceled his plan to sell as many as 50 million shares in the tech company, a holding worth $7.5 billion a day after the company disclosed the founder's divestment plan.

No Oracle stock was sold under the plan, and he has no other plans to sell any of his Oracle stock. The company said this in a statement, which came a day after the disclosure that Ellison sought to divest the shares through a trading program, permitting the sale of as many as 50 million shares through October 24th. The shares are worth about 8.75 billion when the plan was adopted on June 22nd, but Oracle stock has since fallen 16%.

Ellison controls about 40% of the company. Saudi Arabia says it's closed its east west pipeline following more attacks across the Middle East this week. It's been a key alternative to the Strait of Hormuz for Saudi oil exports. President Trump says the Houthis don't want the U.S. to intervene. But Bloomberg's Jeff Mason reports it's a bit of mixed messaging. The president for some time now has been wanting to suggest that the United States is essentially moving on from this war on Iran.

I was traveling with him this week and asked him if there were going to be talks again to reach a peace deal, and he said, we're really not looking for that, Jeff, i.e., we're not looking for peace talks. So I think it's consistent with that in that he doesn't want to emphasize or bring attention necessarily to what is clearly a very negative development for the United States in this war. White House correspondent Jeff Mason on Bloomberg this weekend.

The president blamed Iran for the attacks while speaking to reporters in Ireland Saturday, but suggested once again the war would be over after the midterms. President Trump says a trade deal with Canada could come fairly soon, and downplayed the prospect of quitting a continental trade pact with Canada and Mexico. We're going to have a great relationship with Mexico. We actually have a good one with Canada, but the United States has been ripped off for 50 years by Canada.

You need their product and they need our brand. The president talking to reporters in Ireland Saturday. He did not say whether talks had resumed, but warned Canada has to treat U.S. farmers better and stop charging them tariffs if they want to reach a deal. The clashes are now threatening to rupture cross-border supply chains. President Trump says he would like to see Ireland unified, a remark that puts him at odds with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who recently said the issue was off the table.

He made the remarks during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin, where he visited before a trip to his golf course in the west of Ireland. The issue of a border poll as the vote on unification is known is contentious in both the UK and Ireland, which act as co guarantors of the 1990s peace accord that largely ended sectarian violence between British unionists and Irish nationalists in Northern Ireland.

The pressure is on for fed chair Kevin Warsh to raise interest rates next week, following the latest CPI report, which showed U.S. consumer prices pushed higher last month. Tom Orlik is chief economist for Bloomberg Economics. There's been a structural shift from a world where there's too much saving, a savings glut and not enough investment opportunities. A world in which too much savings means interest rates are falling, to a world where there's a dearth of saving enormous investment opportunities.

And that means structural pressure for interest rates, bond yields to stay high, traders are putting the odds of a rate hike at next week's fed meeting at about 90%, up from about 70% on Thursday. That's news when you want it with Bloomberg News now. I'm Ed Kalegi. This is Bloomberg.
