Here how you can talk about bombing unlicensed datacenters without using “strike” and “bombing”.
I think it’s pretty easy to talk about bombing without saying “bombing”, it’s just… less clear. (depending on how you do it and how sustained it is, it feels orwellian and dishonest. I think Carl’s phrasing here is fine but I do want someone somewhere being clear about what’d be required)
(It seems plausibly an actually-good strategy to have Eliezer off saying extreme/clear things and moving the overton window while other people say reasonable-at-first-glance sounding things)
