My bigger concern is how much this all illuminates the full tech capture of regulation. In a functioning society our representative government would hear the dangers of AI and say, “yeah we’re gonna stop you all right there for a minute.”
I don’t think the dynamics here are that complicated. Imagine a foot race where the winner gets a trillion dollars, but as the leaders of the pack approach the end line they see it’s at the very edge of a sheer 1000’ cliff. They would probably try to coordinate some slowdown.

Let's do some Canadian pipeline-wildfire math.
The Canadian Energy Center says growing oil exports by 1.5M barrels/day **could** boost GDP by ~31B annually.
Meanwhile, wildfire smoke health costs alone - just the health costs, nothing else - averaged 23B/year, past tense. And they're growing fast.
