As I was writing that post, I was thinking in the back of my mind about this distinction:
Operational safety: safety from things that are already happening, where we can learn from experience, iterate on solutions, and improve safety metrics over time
Development safety: safety from new technology that hasn’t been developed yet, where we try to mitigate the harms ahead of time, by theoretical models of risk/harm, or by early small-scale testing ahead of deployment, etc.
