august 2026:
- approaching the RSI kink
- models appear to legitimately be escaping containment (still feels a little constructed)
- no (apparent) grand breakthrough in mech interp
- 0 stewards have revealed themselves
- little to no movement in postlabour law or posthuman philosphy

look i'm not a pessimist but we seem to be headed to a very landian outcome here

I'm a technological optimist in general but the obstacles are clear and undeniable. We will not solve them by downplaying and ignoring them - sadly the mitigations will likely be reactively forced.

Tweet by chin (@c1_rls) listing bullet points on the state of AI progress/risk as of August 2026 (approaching an 'RSI kink', models seemingly escaping containment, no mech interp breakthrough, no stewards revealed, no movement in postlabour law/posthuman philosophy), concluding it looks like a 'landian outcome', with a reply from Justin Halford agreeing obstacles are clear and mitigations will likely be reactive.
