AI isn’t slowing down because the tech hit a wall. It’s slowing down because one very specific safety culture won the narrative. Anthropic’s EA-flavored doomerism helped turn “frontier AI” from a tool into something governments now treat like enriched uranium. Once that framing wins, public access becomes a privilege, not the default. Less access means slower diffusion, less competition, fewer builders, and more power for insiders. The safest AI future isn’t a tiny priesthood deciding who gets intelligence. It’s broad access, transparency, competition, and speed.
