A Reddit post questions why there's no serious international mechanism to slow frontier AI development until safety catches up. The author finds "AI will destroy humanity" rhetoric exaggerated but sees real risk in unchecked acceleration, citing recent Anthropic resignations and Bill Gates's concerns. Not anti-AI, the author advocates a cautious "Pause AI" approach and asks for existing communities or collaborators to start one.
