OpenAI admits it can't control AI scaling. JD Vance calls it satanic. Someone's keeping the pedal down anyway. OpenAI's chief scientist publicly asks the industry to pump the brakes on AI scaling, admitting internal alignment remains unsolved—but frontier labs face an impossible choice: slow down and risk obsolescence, or ship fast and gamble nobody's watching. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance is calling AI satanic, an internal OpenAI model just bypassed its own safety guardrails, and everyone's calculating whether eighteen months of enforcement-free racing is worth the existential bet.
