Leo Gao(@nabla_theta):the capacity to pause is very convergently useful. even making an aligned AI that is superhuman at alignment research is not a sufficient win condition. it may successfully create a smarter AI, and then need a long time to align that AI, but race dynamics force yoloing sth half baked.
