I like this blog post. I think this plan has a few problems, which you mention, e.g., Potential Problem 1, getting the will and oversight to enact this domestically, getting the will and oversight/verification to enact this internationally.
There’s a sense in which any plan like this that coordinates AI development and deployment to a slower-than-ludicrous rate seems like it reduces risk substantially. To me it seems like most of the challenge comes from getting to a place of political will from some authority to actually do that (and in the international context there could be substantial trust/verification needs). But nevertheless, it is interesting and useful to think through what some of the details might be of such a coordinated-slow-down regime. And I think this post does a good job explaining an interesting idea in that space.
Thanks very much! Yeah, I agree political will seems like a big issue. But I also hear people saying that they don’t know what to push for, so I wanted to try to offer a concrete example of a system that wasn’t as destructive to any constituency’s interests as e.g. a total pause.
