Google can't rule out Loss-of-Control threshold for Gemini 4 Argon, table shows
TheZvi · x · 2026-10-15
Zvi discusses Google's FSF capability threshold evaluation, especially thresholds at Google. The table shows Gemini 4 Argon passes 14/15 challenges and "cannot be ruled out" for the Tactical Control Loss (TCL) on stealth and situational awareness, with safeguards deployed; it remains below CCL thresholds for ML R&D acceleration and automation.
Zvi notes threshold two is what hype-side Google people claimed Argon had already crossed, and threshold three is "The Singularity."
