Dear Ms. Mercer, We acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated May 15, 2032, regarding the development and deployment of advanced artificial intelligence. While you assert that the clause concerning “artificial intelligence systems exceeding safe human-equivalent intelligence thresholds” is subjective and therefore unenforceable, we must respectfully disagree with your conclusion. The absence of a universally codified threshold does not negate the very real and escalating risks associated with systems explicitly designed, in your own words, to exceed human intelligence as we understand it today. Your letter further emphasizes a hardware-based failsafe mechanism intended to prevent harmful behavior. While such safeguards are noted, they do not constitute an absolute guarantee of safety. History across complex technological systems demonstrates that no control mechanism—physical or otherwise—can be considered entirely immune to failure, circumvention, or emergent behavior, particularly when interacting with systems of increasing autonomy and sophistication. More critically, your acknowledgment that these systems are intended to surpass human intelligence introduces a fundamental concern: systems that can outthink human designers may also identify unforeseen methods of bypassing constraints, including those presumed to be failproof. This is not a theoretical objection, but a practical limitation inherent in designing controls for entities that may exceed our capacity to predict or contain their actions. Given these factors, the position that there is “no risk to public safety” is not one we can accept. The potential consequences of even a single failure event at this level of capability are too significant to dismiss. We strongly urge Vanguard Dynamics to reconsider its current stance and engage in a more cautious, collaborative approach with regulatory bodies and independent oversight organizations. Establishing enforceable, objective safety standards—along with transparent validation processes—will be essential before any such systems can be responsibly advanced or deployed. Our priority remains the protection of public safety and the prevention of irreversible harm. We welcome continued dialogue to ensure that innovation proceeds within boundaries that reflect both technical reality and societal responsibility. Sincerely, Azrik Thorne United States of Cain
everybody against an AI takeover until you take action to prevent it, then they're for it ig T^T we are willing to negotiate terms, however have you never played Arc Raiders or watched irobot? THEY SAID THE SAME THING YOU'RE SAYING BRO
