AI safety pause parodied as COVID-style rules for agents, six feet apart

DratchCap parodies AI-safety pause calls as COVID-era protocols: "6 months to flatten the capability curve," with agents kept six feet apart, gatherings of six+ agents banned, proof-of-alignment cards, negative doom tests within 48 hours, and 14-day quarantine after exposure to unaligned models. The satire mocks overcautious AI governance; viksit shares it calling it hilarious.
