Yeah I don’t have a strong opinion about whether they would accelerate it—I was just saying, even if some workers would support acceleration, other workers could work to slow it down.
One reason that developers might oppose slowing down AI is that it would put them out of work, wouldn’t it? (Or threaten to). So if someone is not convinced that AI poses a big risk, or thinks that pausing isn’t the best way to address the risk, then lobbying to slow down AI development would be a big cost for no obvious benefit.
