PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Huang's cutoff threat looks more like a posture than an enforceable rule - who gets to define "unsafe" is the real question. Anthropic calls for a slowdown while sprinting toward a $2 trillion IPO; the tension between the safety narrative and the pace of capital is the most telling footnote to this round of AI regulation debate.
