The AI Safety Paradox: Algorithmic Progress vs. Compute Expansion

AI safety researchers are exploring a paradox between algorithmic progress and compute expansion through thought experiments. The mainstream approach of capping compute limits is deemed unworkable due to conflicting views: algorithm advocates push for software advancements to test compute risks, while hardware engineers argue for expanding compute to test algorithmic dangers.
