Wiblin's plea to AI lab staff: reassess now whether your work delays or accelerates RSI

Robert Wiblin urges all AI lab staff to reassess whether their current project is their best opportunity to delay recursive self-improvement or keep it from blowing up, and to move immediately if not. Shifting priorities he cites include: capabilities work (especially bringing RSI forward) looks worse than before, and safety/alignment evals need a credibility revolution. DeepMind alignment researcher Geoffrey Irving thanks him for a shout-out to Resolution while deliberately not saying where it appears, so listeners hear the full argument for why and how to stop.
