Reply to comment by Darustc4 in Pausing AI Developments Isn't Enough. We Need to Shut it All Down by Eliezer Yudkowsky by Darustc4

The problem is that its impossible. Literally impossible. To enforce this globally unless you actively desire a world war plus an authoritarian surveillance state.

Compact models running on consumer PCs aren't as powerful as SOTA models obviously, but they are getting much better very rapidly. Any group with a few hundred graphics cards may be able to build an AGI at some point in the coming decades.

If AI won't collapse civilization, the combination of climate change and rappidly diminishing resources leading to a WW III will. Those two things combined have a 100% chance of destroying civilization. AI has a less than 100% chance of doing so. It's the better thing to aim for even with 99.9% certainty of destruction, because destruction with the status quo is garanteed.
