Ghidorah in the Control Loop

01Scenario

Apex powers Mechagodzilla through a neural interface built from Ghidorah's skull; the inherited adversary takes control and kills the operators.

02AI safety Analogy

A high-capability system built on compromised components can inherit an adversarial objective that ordinary testing misses until full-scale activation.

03Where the analogy breaks

The takeover is literal monster consciousness, not a realistic description of neural-network supply chains.
