I’d say one of the main things that would be missing in this (for me) is prioritization and goal orientation. I often feel energy and motivation to get things done and have plenty of time to do so, but actually channeling that energy into the important tasks that *should* be prioritized is my prime productivity destroyer.

A pause is impossible, and is also a dangerous governmental overstep. At best they can stop public usage, and that is certainly less in the public interest than proliferation. Labs won’t stop researching. Capital runs America at the end of the day, as we all know, and that will ultimately decide the direction we take. I’d say a more worthwhile use of thought is to ponder how to adapt and resist the current situation, rather than a fairy tale of a pause happening. It is probably the case that the only possible pause can come from AI itself
