Vox journalist Sigal Samuel notes the Overton window is shifting this month: more of her sources now openly argue Anthropic/OpenAI could simply slow down — it's not an 11-dimensional chess game or prisoner's dilemma, it's Russian roulette.
The retweeter counters that recent problems aren't caused by models but by decades of sloppy engineering and corner-cutting. Identifying long-standing vulnerabilities is progress; things will stabilize once patches land — the real answer is fixing things, not burying one's head in the sand.
