From physics to AI: capability without control means rising systemic risk
AryHHAry · x · 2026-09-20
The author, with a physics background, argues technology follows quasi-physical "system laws": if capability rises while control doesn't, risk exposure increases; if autonomy rises while observability declines, uncertainty grows; if complexity rises while governance stays static, fragility increases. This, they stress, is systems engineering, not moral panic.
