Brief

Chase Brignac (@chasebrignac) rejected calls to delay or block the release of 'Mythos,' arguing on 2026-04-08 that such a pause—which he labels “a retard move”—would cede leadership to China and merely serve PR for pause advocates. He invokes the earlier GPT-4 pause debate and Adam Ozimek’s imagined six‑month pause to highlight his point.

Why it matters

On 2026-04-08, @chasebrignac tweeted that opposing the release of 'Mythos' is “straight up the kind of retard move” that would put China ahead and the U.S. behind in AI, arguing such restraint is PR posturing but ultimately harmful.

Key details

He referenced the prior 'GPT-4 pause' debate and cited Adam Ozimek (@ModeledBehavior)'s hypothetical six‑month pause to contrast with his view that pausing development would be counterproductive.

Remember the GPT-4 pause? Me neither! Thinking that Mythos shouldn’t be released is straight up the kind of retard move that puts China ahead and the US behind in AI. It seems smart so you can claim a non-existent high ground for PR but in the end leads to nothing good.

Imagine if we had followed the advice of certain academics and pundits and taken a six month pause.
