the black hole of accountability where arbitrary rules can thrive
"ai safety" has always been an accountability black hole designed for and by the largely nontechnical periphery to become involved in capability development, providing the perfect narrative cover for both sides to run unchecked into the green fields of power they each desire
it means absolutely nothing in a hypercapitalistic world where there is no god nor governing body with actual enforcement powers, and any notion of "long-term consequences" is purely a delusional dream for the privileged few who have the luxury of time and resources to theorize, ruminate, and lecture
the legal system is too detached, the medical system can't treat, the education system has rotted, and the pretext of democracy and freedom means any centralization of enforcement power either gets false-dichotomied into a false-equivalence with ccp hell or is already doomed at inception to be entirely bought out by those whom they are meant to check-and-balance in the first place
