In a post on X, the account 1a3orn argued that the governance model in AI 2040: Plan A leans too heavily on a "Consortium" whose decisions are ultimately driven by nations bargaining "weighed by clout," rather than by a clearly defined decision process. The critique is not that the scenario lacks ambition. It is that, in 1a3orn's view, a system meant to manage advanced AI still seems to rely on good outcomes just happening.
