Harris's argument lands hardest not as an ethical critique but as a market mechanics observation [4]. A company that slows deployment to conduct safety evaluations, red-teaming, or alignment research absorbs the cost of that caution in real time — slower product cycles, delayed enterprise deals, engineers who leave for faster-moving competitors. The company that skips those steps does not pay that cost until something goes wrong, and by then it holds the market position, the talent, and the political relationships.
