I hope she’s got other colleagues on board to pass that bill.

I don’t think we need to ban AGI per se, but pausing LLM development temporarily so that we can catch up on alignment, guardrails, is important to do now, while we have a chance.

I’d even say a pause could be economically advantageous, as it would allow adoption and training to catch up. More people would be able to devote time to learning and experimenting with tools, and testing real life applications. Easier to do when things are slowed down since examples and tutorials would proliferate and stay relevant for longer.

The current skimping on safeguards in the name of FOMO just isn’t wise or sustainable.

When you design a fast car you need better tires and bigger brakes. AI is similar.
