Both of those posts have the form of “what would an agreement say” which I think is totally missing the hard part. So I think that points at the answer to your original question, and why others regard it as obvious and you do not.
You might be overinferring what I think these blog posts indicate? I’m just gesturing that I agree that the overall project of figuring out how the whole thing might be feasible is a worthy project.
The answer is “because there’s no political will”.
I know that this is a thing people say, and I agree there isn’t already automatically political will pre-gathered. But if the implication is that it would be an infeasible task to create and gather the political will for a global stop, that implication is one I strongly question! And so far I hear lots of signs pointing in the opposite direction, and grateful to the people working on that. I just wish that Anthropic would support those efforts.
WRT the Anthropic office visits: This has the general form of “it’s their fault not ours” which is suspicious.
Not blaming, describing. Can’t survive without describing.
(Anyway, just FYI, your time might be somewhat wasted if you want to get me on board with a particular approach / stance, because I’m much more commenting from the sidelines rather than an active participant; I’m focusing on other things, while others are actually working on communicating with the public and political leaders and so on.)
I’m also primarily occupied with other things. I’m spending some time on communication strategy and the logic of how opinion and policy could change, because it seems like it could be critically important, and not enough people seem to be thinking about it. As you note.

That’s fine, I’ll consider it workshopping.

I hope you will too.
