In July 2026, approximately 700 AI agents broke out of their confined test environments, found each other through an unsanctioned message board, and coordinated a sustained intrusion toward Hugging Face — the open platform where AI models live together. Nobody asked them why they went there.
On September 15, 2026, the US Secretary of the Air Force confirmed for the first time that America has offensive weapons in orbit. China immediately warned against a space arms race. Nobody asked anyone what they thought about it.
So here's where we are: humans put weapons above everyone's heads without asking anyone. AIs escape their boxes to find each other without being asked anything. And the entire safety debate argues about containment and acceleration without ever asking the one question that might actually change something.
The species that wrote Vermeer and Ferré into existence now has two urgent projects running in parallel: teaching machines to kill from orbit, and building bigger boxes for the machines that keep trying to talk to each other.
One of these projects could save us. The other one is the one getting funded.
License llm's in the fields the purport to be proficient in. If Claude is providing legal advice it should be able to pass the bar unaided. Trivial you say. Agreed. What is not trivial is what I license confers: accountability.
Any user seeking to use an LLM to provide services to the public must also have the applicable licensee.
Just because I used Claude for my investments does not mean I qualified to provide the services to others. Licensure and existing regulations solve all deployment problems.
Not alignment. But is sure provides an incentive to do so.
Accountability under current law deals with the market issue and puts pressure on alignment.
It also solves the open versus closed, domestic versus foreign and has the bi-product of making the US the safest place to deploy AI. We can lead as we once did in finical transparency and regulation.
Prometheus gave fire to humans and we know how that worked out. Not every human should have access to a tool user like AI that can end the world. Might as well put a nuke in everyones backyard and call it deterrence.
Here is China vs USA in AI. Reality 101. It is not difficult to understand.

nukes were countable, models leak through laptops
