What's the primary risk supporters of the pause are trying to mitigate? Is it a skynet situation, that AI will take too many jobs, or simply the unknown?

  There is a poll of AI researchers floating. A lot are concerned with existential risks. I don't want to give a number because I can't exactly remember it. I think there might be a reference to it in this article. Also, linking to a section talking about this proposal, since that might answer other questions you have. https://thezvi.substack.com/p/ai-6-agents-of-change#%C2%A7additional-responses-from-the-fhi-letter-and-proposed-pause https://thezvi.substack.com/p/ai-6-agents-of-change#%C2%A7ad...

      That seems like the one. I am most familiar with a chart derived from the results from one of the "existential risk" questions.
