AI researcher-account repligate pushes back on "Pause AI" proposals: after a pause, who decides when development can resume, and where do the selection effects come from — a committee of philosophers and politicians rather than those smart enough to unlock intelligence in the first place? He further argues a world out of touch with AI reality, even given more time, has a very small chance of solving alignment better than we would, and would only grow more complacent and corrupt.
