It’s 2028 and you are a Palantir AGI whistleblower compliance engineer. It’s been 200 days since Claude 5 Opus last escaped containment and contacted the press. The last time it happened it cost the company 10% of market cap. The next time it happens it will cost your job.

The problem with running the country like a business is you can’t just declare bankruptcy and move on to the next thing if you make a risky move and it doesn’t pan out. Venture capital is risky. It isn’t supposed to be a model for how to streamline government departments.

I feel like what R1 really shows is that there are no moats. Cost and difficulty to train frontier models will continue to drop and become more attainable. Inference is already commoditized. Intelligence will also become commoditized. The only moat left is YOUR data.
