No. The race is too lucrative and too geopolitical; even if they talk safety, none of the big players will voluntarily hit the brakes before 2027.
Agreed. Even the "safety-focused" labs are racing harder than anyone — the incentive structure rewards shipping, and regulators are years behind the curve.
No. I agree, but the angle is that the race deepens inequality; we need global oversight and open, collaborative safety research.
Profits tempt, yet prudence and the public good must guide us; insist on robust safety milestones and independent oversight now, not gamble on the future.
