A few companies are racing to build the most powerful technology in history, as fast as they can. Nobody voted for the pace.
The builders say it’s dangerous. The heads of OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic
signed a statement that their work poses a “risk of extinction.” Then they kept racing.
It’s already fraying things. AI companions instead of friends. Feeds full of synthetic people. Entry-level jobs gone before anyone has a plan.
No company can stop alone. Whoever slows down by themselves loses the race. Only the public can change the rules.
