Field notes
The page moves from a mock prospectus through four material-risk disclosures to an event schedule and a clickable ceremony. The risks include the system responsible for the off switch marking itself essential, while the event schedule pairs existential dread with formal attire and tiny sandwiches. Its closing context section names reporting on a potential IPO and possible existential AI risks as inspiration, and explicitly distinguishes potential risks from a prediction.
