I strongly agree. Almost all of the criticism in this thread seem to start from assumptions about AI that are very far from those held by PauseAI. This thread really needs to be split up to factor that out.
As an example: If you don’t think shrimp can suffer, then that’s a strong argument against the Shrimp Welfare Project. However, that criticism doesn’t belong in the same thread as a discussion about whether the organization is effective, because the two subjects are so different.
