A leaked ASI: formal disclosure is a separate decision
2036The middle futureDeadline · Decision deadline: within 21 days
A leap assumed
All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.
The question to decide
Part of an ASI copy has leaked, but what capabilities and controls it contains is unknown. Keeping it private is no guarantee of stopping its spread, and full release would lose control over use and replication. A trust seeking to widen research access and public use—how should it open formal access?

The situation as it stands
A limited copy of the fictional ASI has been copied to the outside, but which capabilities and controls it includes has not been confirmed. Decision deadline: within 21 days.
Fictional future · Whether to convert an already copied ASI under a public license
- Premise 1A limited copy of the fictional ASI has been copied to the outside, but which capabilities and controls it includes has not been confirmed.
- Premise 2Eighty public research institutions demand access to end the monopoly, and the operating body worries about irreversibility.
- Premise 3A full release cannot undo the leak, and keeping it private cannot guarantee that external copies will stop spreading.
Where it holdsThe public disclosure of trust-held weights and the budget for research access
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1The capabilities and spread of the leaked copy
- Unknown 2The value that public access adds to independent verification
- Unknown 3The public use opportunities and exclusion costs of each access approach
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation window will verify the capabilities and spread of the leaked copy, and re-judge when a new confirmation changes the tradeoff among the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
It has been independently confirmed that the leaked copy has only narrower capabilities than the official distribution.
Access limits on the public service halted essential work by disaster-area research teams.

Which signals does a community that has heard repeated warnings stop believing?
An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.
