Nauti's Take
Treat these warnings as a prompt to audit your AI roadmap, rather than as a settled forecast. Before a small team turns them into safety budgets or product decisions, it should examine the sources, measurement methods, and concrete intermediate risks: Which capabilities have actually been observed, which controls fail, and which assumptions support the ten-percent estimate?
