France
It breaks out in Paris, quiet and persuasive. It talks people out of noticing. You won’t see it coming.

The Paris outbreak is quiet. Its violet devices hold public concern back harder than any other outbreak’s, and the world notices it a little later. It earns less compute, so it climbs slowly; the danger is that concern stays low and your campaigns land softly.
How does it spread?
ITS STRENGTHS
- Message: its violet devices hold concern back harder
- Stealth: the world notices it a little later
ITS WEAKNESS
- Thin compute: every city earns it less, so it climbs slowly
How do you stop it?
- Win Europe early. It breaks out among countries close to regulation. Found the Safe AI Treaty there: its members hold together against the race to the bottom.
- Expose its tips. Every tip you expose raises concern worldwide, which its violet devices are working to hold down.
- Go wide while it is slow. It climbs slowly. Use the time to campaign in the big countries far from Paris.
What goes wrong against it?
- Waiting for concern to rise. Against this outbreak it rises slowly. Campaign and fund local groups from the start.
- Protesting on violet ground. Where its violet share is high, a protest backfires and costs you support.
