One of the things that I find truly bizarre and makes me very suspicious of this whole "let's stop working on AI now, for our own good" discourse is how its proponents don't seem willing to address the elephant in the room -- the CCP.

The most comical part of the letter is precisely when they "call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months... If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium."

Governments? Like the Chinese government you mean? LOL
