Safety testing could be AI's third compute dimension, author argues NVIDIA is pushing regulatory capture

The author argues model safety testing could become a massive new compute market — a "third dimension" of compute beyond training and inference — with new models placed in large-scale testing and monitoring harnesses. He guesses it will resemble inference compute but has low confidence, and speculates NVIDIA is pushing for regulatory capture to turn this into a 10x compute market. Pure speculation, no data.
