I think it would be good to talk about the conditions for lifting or extending the pause after it has been implemented. It’s not a top area of concern for me, but I just completed an AI Safety course with BlueDot where my facilitator disfavored a pause for this reason (in addition to political feasibility and monitoring concerns).
I believe it is likely that a pause would be a complete non-starter without at least a framework for what conditions trigger what actions, unfortunately. Metaphorically, it feels like we’re in a bus changing our tires while driving down the freeway here, the driver(s) are saying “Hey, this is getting to be a really bad idea”, and the folks who chartered the bus are shouting that they want to go faster, despite not really explaining to any of us where we’re going, just that “It’s going to be great, trust us!”.
