Miles Brundage adds: he would be working on AI security if he had much to contribute there. He laments that progress on security has not been commensurate with the pace of AI, which is perhaps the strongest argument for slowdown. He clarifies that he means security proper—not safety rebranded as security because some people dislike the term safety.
