Critics warn iterative deployment raises the stakes after every frontier AI failure

The author says the danger described in Simon Lermen’s quote is “all too likely.”
The quoted argument is that OpenAI’s claim about iterative deployment was reinforced by a recent incident, but each future incident will likely carry higher stakes and more catastrophic failure modes. The quote warns against treating frontier AI as something to “build the plane as we fly it,” because each new challenge can raise the odds that a single failure becomes existential.
