David Krueger: Dismantle the AI Compute Supply Chain for an Indefinite International Pause
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-09-04
Responding to Dwarkesh Patel's claim that "we'll likely only be able to pause once," AI safety researcher David Krueger proposes a third path: systematically dismantling the compute supply chain—the advanced AI chips and the fabs that build them—to enable an indefinite, international AI pause. He criticizes the documentary The AI Doc for framing solutions as a binary between total government surveillance and bioterrorism catastrophe, arguing the physical substrate of compute itself should be the target of intervention.
