AI2040's Plan A blasted as both far too slow and dangerously fast on compute scale
inerati · x · 2026-09-13
Commenter @inerati argued AI2040's 'Plan A' fails in two opposite directions at once:
- Too slow: humanity would need a coordinated slowdown far sooner than the plan's timeline suggests
- Too fast: humanity likely doesn't survive 60 billion H100-equivalents in 2034 or sustained 50% GDP growth
A sharp counterpoint to the AI2040 governance proposal, reflecting disagreements on pacing even among slowdown advocates.
