It’s unclear to me how to integrate that theory with our decisions today given how much the strategic situation is likely to have shifted in that time.
Which public. Each country in this AI race has a different view on this, and some do not consult their public as much as others. The EA community ideally should take this into account. If the other countries aren’t going to pause, and they will not, what should the USA do?

Should We Push For An AI Pause Might Be The Wrong Question
A quick thought on the recent discussion on whether pushing for a pause on frontier AI models is a good idea or not.
It seems obvious to me that within the next 3 years the top AI labs will be producing AI that causes large swaths of the public to push for a pause.
Is it therefore more prudent to ask the following question: when much of the public wants a pause, what should our (the EA community) response be?
Interesting framing.
