The fight over where the brake on frontier AI lives — independent evaluators, a statutory ban, or labs pacing themselves — and whether any of it connects to a mechanism.

Art Deco lacquer-panel relief

Art Deco lacquer-panel relief of three stylized hands — one jade, one coral, one antique gold — reaching in from the left, right and lower edges to grip a single tall brake lever at three different heights, each hauling a different way. Below them the lever's linkage rod stops in empty air, a finger's width short of the toothed gold gear wheel it should engage. Vertical, near-symmetrical composition on a stepped black lacquer ground; low raking light from the upper left strikes hard specular edges along every step and pools lightless shadow in each groove. Strictly black lacquer, antique gold, jade and coral; no lettering, sunburst or fan motifs. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper
