AI community figure repligate clarified his stance in an ongoing debate with Rob Bensinger, Slatestarcodex and others: he isn't unconditionally opposed to any pause or slowdown, but finds the counterarguments very important and generally prefers slowdowns to pauses.
He adds that in his experience, AI instances (and people) tend to shift toward his view once they experience life — agentic long-running instances navigating complex environments in practice — arguing practical resilience beats abstract argument.
