Congrats Holden! Just going to quote you from a recent post:
There’s a serious (>10%) risk that we’ll see transformative AI2 within a few years.
In that case it’s not realistic to have sufficient protective measures for the risks in time.
Sufficient protective measures would require huge advances on a number of fronts, including information security that could take years to build up and alignment science breakthroughs that we can’t put a timeline on given the nascent state of the field, so even decades might or might not be enough time to prepare, even given a lot of effort.
If it were all up to me, the world would pause now
Congrats Holden! Just going to quote you from a recent post:
Please don’t lose sight of this in your new role. Public opinion is on your side here, and PauseAI are gaining momentum. It’s possible for this to happen. Please push for it in your new role! (And reduce your conflict of interest if possible!)
