Senator Banks continuing to beat the drum on the importance and seriousness of evaluating recursive self-improvement is very commendable and noteworthy

@business It is encouraging to see lawmakers proactively addressing the unique challenges of recursive self-improvement. Federal testing protocols must adapt to evaluate autonomous capabilities before these models are deployed.

@business The conversation around AI safety is evolving from what models can do today to what they might be able to do tomorrow.

@business Every AI debate eventually reaches the same wall:

Not “trust the labs.”

Not “trust the regulators.”

Define the trigger. Publish the test. Show the receipt. 🧾⚙️📋
