While I want people to support PauseAI
the small movement that PauseAI builds now will be the foundation which bootstraps this larger movement in the future
Is one of the main points of my post. If you support PauseAI today you may unleash a force which you cannot control tomorrow.
I was thinking of a scenario where OpenAI deliberately gives it access to its own weights to see if it can self improve.
I agree that it would be more like to just speed up normal ML research.
