The call to "Pause AI dev!" reminds me of the COVID-era call to "flatten the curve!". It sounds reasonable, and if it was possible to do, might be effective.

It sounds reasonable, and if it was possible to do, might be effective.
But it's absolutely not possible after a certain point, and that point is past.
The people who don't realize that just look silly, or they have an agenda.
- azinman2 3y agoAt least that had some obvious problem it was trying to solve. Here there’s no proposal as to what would happen in those 6 months, what’s at stake if we don’t, why 6 months specifically, how could you even plausibly get cooperation when it’s about competition vs viral spread, no attempt to get cooperation in other countries (eg China), who would even come up with whatever restrictions in those 6 months and what that would look like, etc. The reality is the cat is out of the bag in so many ways, particularly if you’re a bad actor LLAMA models are available to you. It’s already possible to just create infinite propaganda/spam now. What would 6 months possibly solve?
