Hot take on a weak White House Accord on “Super Intelligence”

Substack · Watch/Read · (gathered 2026-09-30)

• Gary Marcus frames the White House Accord on “Super Intelligence” as a “weak” and self-serving agreement, primarily designed by major tech companies to avoid genuine regulation and public oversight.
• He “reads between the lines” of the accord, interpreting its core tenets as “We agree not be regulated,” “We agree not to give the public a voice,” and “Trust us,” while questioning the true independence of “subcontractors.”
• Marcus highlights the absence of “Pacing” (a concept previously discussed) and notes that key figures like Dario, Sam, and Elon “chickened out,” implying a failure to commit to more proactive or cautious development strategies.
