Quoting a context where someone stated they wouldn't use the word 'deceleration' but emphasized the need to 'pace it,' the user argued that if you aren't accelerating further, 'pacing' simply means slowing it down. They called for clear and honest language over euphemisms when discussing interventions in AI progress.
