Are they begging to be shut down? I don't get why the warning would come from the place creating the risk. It's like a nuclear power plant warning everyone of a meltdown, like what are we supposed to do, you control it!

Poison pill for day-traders perhaps so whoever buys into it will hold on till the insiders and most likely the bankers can cash out.. I think anthropic insiders were given unusual runway to cash in right at the time of stock issue. They don't have to wait that you know IPO 180 days or whatever as I recall if I am not mistaken.

It is a disclaimer. "We warned you, so you survivors on Luna can't sue us."

And no, they don't control it.

Good point. I meant they are controlling the process getting us to the uncontrollable AI.
