AI's low-trust prisoner's dilemma: Q3 review plus Cognition CEO Scott Wu interview
htaneja · x · 2026-11-12
A Q3 industry review argues AI is stuck in a prisoner's dilemma built on low trust: nations, frontier labs and infrastructure companies all race because none can see what others are doing. It lays out four ways out — move first, improve the signal, change the payoffs, lengthen the shadow of the future — and argues markets still underprice resilience. Includes a sit-down with Cognition CEO Scott Wu on the dilemma, Cognition's trajectory, and diffusion into critical industries.
