> So what if America developed something really powerful in isolation and other countries find out about it

This isn’t about America. America is not the only country working on AI. But if you stop all AI development in America and say europe because “oh it might be dangerous”. Do you think other countries, for example, China and Russia, are going to stop?

> What needs to happen is people realise we’re all humans, we all live together in the same biosphere and rather than continue to perpetuate and justify arms races, we must start to talk and solve our differences. That’s the mature thing to do.

100% agreed. But the sad fact is that is not even close to the reality we live in.

if you’re referring to the letter regarding a 6 month pause, no one suggest all AI development was stopped, they asked for a pause on training LLMs at scale.

Elon caused for a pause in AI training.

If you're referring to this, which is what I'm referring too, it says "Giant AI experiments" not a pause in all AI research. Where did Elon say that ?

From your link

> Therefore, we call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.

The ironic thing about your link is it tries to say this doesn’t mean to stop development. But testing is part of development so the whole thing is short sighted.

Asking for any kind of pause is flat out dumb.

Asking for any kind of pause is flat out dumb.

No it’s not, that’s why human cloning doesn’t exist. Because a pause happened…

[throwaway2990]

Human cloning is still being researched…
