The article draws a parallel between Cold War arms control negotiations and today's AI regulation, arguing that calls for "responsible scaling" miss the structural problem: governance institutions move in years while AI capabilities advance in months.

The risk is not velocity in absolute terms, but that AI advancement outpaces the capacity of democratic systems to constrain it.
