A brake is not a heading

A researcher leaves Anthropic saying no one is acting responsibly, and the public response is to decide who brakes: a law, a regulator, a kill switch. But most people don’t sign laws or train models: they coordinate projects, maintain systems and write with these tools. For that majority the question isn’t who’s in charge, but whether what they use lets itself be governed. Three measured cases, in project governance, infrastructure and authoring, and what ontoref decided to do with each one.
