This is a big deal. I keep bringing this up, and people keep saying, “Well, if that’s the case, then everything is hopeless. I can’t even begin to imagine how to handle a situation like that.”
I do not find this an adequate response. Defeatism is not the answer here.
The answer is to fight as hard as humanly possible right now to get the governments of the world to shut down all frontier AI development immediately. For two years, I have heard no other plan within an order of magnitude of this in terms of viability.
I still expect to die by default, but we won’t get lucky without a lot of work. CPR only works 10% of the time, but it works 0% of the time when you don’t do it.
