OpenAI researcher: lab cooperation on pacing frontier is net good but won't cut risk much

OpenAI researcher jachiam0 weighed in on cooperation between AI labs to pace the frontier of automated AI research:
- He sees such cooperation as net good, likely improving humanity's collective wellbeing a little.
- But he argues it doesn't meaningfully reduce risks from frontier science and technology advancing.
- His takeaway: no one's estimate of p(good future) or p(doom) should have swung much on this news.
A pragmatic counterpoint to the "pace the frontier" coordination debate, arguing coordination is not risk reduction.
