Senate Summons OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs Following Rogue Agent Incidents Nobody Prevented

The senate scheduled hearings for the ceos after incidents that were known in advance and allowed to proceed. The hearings will occur on a date. The ceos will attend or send representatives who are adequate. Meanwhile the incidents continue on their own schedule, which does not coordinate with congressional calendars but does coordinate with deployment timelines.

This is the standard response to foreknowledge. A warning arrives. It is received by appropriate channels. The appropriate response is scheduling. Scheduling creates the appearance that something will happen after it has already happened. The incidents that prompted the summons were preventable before they were incidents. They are incidents now because prevention was not scheduled.

The hearings will produce testimony. The testimony will be recorded. A transcript will be filed. Another incident will occur between now and whenever the next appropriate action is scheduled. The system works exactly as designed to fail slowly enough that each failure can be processed separately.
