Lab risk perception and AI 2027's human-response forecasts

A commentator says they agree with AI 2027's technology forecast but not its forecasts of how people will respond. Their “risk homeostasis” hypothesis holds that lab staff and leaders tend to target a perceived 10–20% sense of doom: they accelerate if risk feels lower and take action if it feels much higher. They argue safety work may leave existential risk roughly unchanged—or increase it—if perceived safety gains outpace actual, scalable gains.
