Sure, I agree that Nate/Eliezer think we should eventually build superintelligence and don’t want to causal a pause that lasts forever. In the comment you’re responding to, I’m just talking about difficulty in getting people to buy the narrative.
More generally, what Nate/Eliezer think is best is doesn’t resolve concerns with the pause going poorly because something else happens in practice. This includes the pause going on too long or leading to a general anti-AI/anti-digital-minds/anti-progress view which is costly for the longer run future.) (This applies to the proposed Plan A as well, but I think poor implementation is less scary in various ways and the particular risk of ~anti-progress forever is less strong.)
