But how would we even? Imagine all of GPT-4 is purged. Small groups, private individuals, and open source hackers have the capacity, in terms of both hardware, and datasets and algorithms and knowledge available on the Internet, to recreate GPT-4-like technologies within a decade at the most. (Probably much, much sooner.) And perhaps people will find a few more tricks to make the task feasible compute-wise along the way. The shift required, in every aspect of society, to actually stop work, is hard to even imagine.
