Reply to comment by JustinianIV in My case against the “Pause Giant AI Experiments” open letter by Beepboopbop8

The esteemed signatories confirmed their support independently. That some trolls signed it as fictional characters is totally irrelevant.

Esteemed signatories like Yann LeCun, who later revealed he never even knew about the letter

Like Max Tegmark, Emad Mostaque, and other prominent figures in the science/AI space.

By putting a moratorium on it?

*for six months for very large models.

For the record, I don’t think this is going to work, but I’m glad people are at least recognizing the gravity of the situation.

I’m worried in that situation once the moratorium is in place, it won’t come off again. Think, the media frenzy that would happen: “officials have banned AI research for 6 months due to fears of AGI”. Then 6 months is up and I guarantee you no political solution to AGI has been implemented. But now everyone thinks AI is damgerous because it needed a ban, especially the politicians who smell blood and latch on to AI fear for more votes. Do they lift the ban? No chance, now it’s permanent.
