Why this dilemma matters
These questions test what you would actually do, not what sounds good in the abstract. Choosing “Yes. AI capacity is becoming national infrastructure” prioritises immediate safety; choosing “No. Treating compute as strategic will militarize tech markets” gives more weight to long-term cost.
Worth asking yourself
- Could you live with the outcome you skipped?
- Who pays the price you avoid?
