The AI 2027 Scenario: Are We Moving Too Fast?

Read this AI 2027 scenario piece and I keep coming back to it. The basic premise: there are two paths from here, and neither one is comfortable.

Path one: we keep accelerating AI development at the current pace. Things go wrong in ways we didn't predict because we're building faster than we can evaluate. Path two: we slow down significantly, but the organizations that got there first end up with a dangerous concentration of capability and power.

What bothers me is that both paths feel plausible. I work with AI systems daily and I see how quickly the capability bar is rising. Six months ago, things that required careful prompt engineering now work out of the box. That rate of change makes it hard to plan, hard to regulate, and hard to even form stable opinions about what's safe.

I don't have a take beyond "this is worth thinking about more seriously than most people are." If you're building AI products, you owe it to yourself to think about where this is going, not just what ships next quarter.
