A conference report claims frontier-lab insiders are privately shortening their timelines and wondering if there's an intelligence level humanity shouldn't cross. Daniel and Emily argue about whether that phrase is a decision or a mood, what a compute cap could actually hold, what it means when token bills start looking like paychecks, and who owns the mess agents leave behind. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies. He studies how technological breakthroughs reshape industries, markets, work, and human capabilities. ### Emily Carter Emily Carter is a business strategist and former technology product leader with experience building digital products and studying how innovation reaches millions of users.
