Source Grounding & Real-World Context: Inspired by discussions in r/singularity regarding the transition from techno-optimism (curing diseases, radical abundance) to acute anxiety around supply-chain exploits (e.g. Hugging Face token compromises, OpenAI system incidents) and uncontrolled humanoid agent actuation. This model formalizes the tradeoff between capability takeoff and institutional defense margins.

AI Safety Horizon and Containment Dynamics

Read the explanation

The simulator balances capability growth against three containment layers: provenance signing, sandbox isolation, and physical hardware latches. Injecting vulnerability vectors degrades layer health and applies penalty deductions, dropping the systemic resilience index below fifty. When resilience declines, the calculated failure probability surges, shifting the critical breach threshold from 2030 inward to 2024. Increasing safety compute budget and supply chain verification restores defense layer health, pushing the containment horizon outward toward 2045.
