I just want to say that I thought this was an excellent dialogue.
It is very rare for two people with different views/perspectives to come together and genuinely just try to understand each other, ask thoughtful questions, and track their updates. This dialogue felt like a visceral, emotional reminder that this kind of thing is actually still possible. Even on a topic as “hot” as AI pause advocacy.
Thank you to Holly, Rob, and Jacob.
I’ll also note that I’ve been proud of Holly for her activism. I remember speaking with her a bit when she was just getting involved. I was like: “she sure does have spirit and persistence– but I wonder if she’ll really be able to make this work.” But so far, I think she has. I’m impressed with how far she’s come.
I think she’s been doing an excellent and thoughtful job so far. And this is despite navigating various tradeoffs, dealing with hostile reactions, being a pioneer in this space, and battling the lonely dissent that Rob mentioned.
I don’t know what the future of AI pause advocacy will look like, and I’m not sure what the movement will become, but I’m very glad that Holly has emerged as one of its leaders.
