Altman, Musk, and Hassabis back Amodei's call for AI oversight

Why it matters: Public agreement from three rival lab heads, who rarely align publicly, suggests real political or safety pressure is building industry-wide rather than this being Anthropic positioning itself as the safety-first lab. Whether this becomes a coordinated policy proposal or stays at the level of statements is the thing to watch next.
