- CAIS argues against "we can't slow down because China will win": Chinese AI largely lags via distilling US models, so a mutual slowdown is incentive-compatible — propose cooperation with onsite inspectors, with Elon Musk possibly leading negotiations, and consequences if China refuses.
- The rebroadcaster mocks the idea: "Hey China, stop doing matrix multiplication or we'll bomb you" — starting a hot war over SF nerds' anxiety.
- A representative clash between the coordinated-slowdown school and its skeptics in the AI safety debate.
