Published 12 September, Iaso's satire hit 555 points on Hacker News, ahead of every earnest safety post that week. It calls for a global frontier pause while openly admitting the goal is letting the fictional Techaro Lygma lab catch up and dominate with its Intelliga models, complete with FelonyBench and a plan to give people cat ears. The reason it matters is the ranking: the community upvoted the parody of pause rhetoric above the rhetoric itself.
