Responding to only one minor point you made, the 6-month pause letter seems like the type of thing you oppose: it’s not able to help with the risk, it just does deceptive PR that aligns with the goals of pushing against AI progress, while getting support from those who disagree with their actual goal.
I had remembered that the pause letter talked about extinction. Reading again, it doesn’t use the word extinction; it does say “Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?” which is similar but somewhat ambiguous. CAIS’ Statement on AI Risk would have been a better example.
