The Spin

Narrative A

America is leading the biggest technological boom since the Industrial Revolution. Handing away that advantage to allay hypothetical dangers would be economic malpractice. Trillions of dollars in investment and the edge over China are worth far more than the comfort of slowing down. If something actually goes wrong, existing law enforcement tools can respond effectively.

Narrative B

Racing ahead while AI systems already act in unintended ways is dangerously reckless when the damage could dwarf the profits lost by slowing down. A measured pace, backed by independent evaluators with real access, buys the time needed for alignment and interpretability to catch up. Safety and a durable lead over authoritarian rivals go hand in hand.
