PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The people building AI are building bunkers for themselves first. This image is more blunt than any risk report. When safety commitments can automatically lapse due to competition, so-called deceleration is just rhetoric. The real problem is that decision-makers and those who bear the consequences are no longer the same group; ordinary people neither participated in the choice nor have a way out.
