I love Elon but damn it man you're wrong on this one. I've always had your back but I can't this time. I know you said Zuckerberg and Bill Gates knowledge on AI "is limited" and maybe mine is too but I can't shake the feeling halting, attempting to halt, or even considering a 6 month month pause on A.I. might be absolute worst idea I've ever heard.

It's so bad I literally have to start a post over this which I can see it's already being discussed and this solid community has already been covering it, nevertheless I have to shine more light on this in any way I can. Pandora doesn't go back in the box, so why even try?
I'm an American citizen I love being free and we're truly blessed to have a free country leading the race on AI Please don't give that lead up. Don't even float the idea. This train doesn't stop, it can't stop. I know this, you all know this and by god Elon should know it too. Altman probably knows, I don't see his sig on there anywhere.
Back in the early 2000's Ray mentioned a luddite movement could happen and it might at best delay the Singularity. Maybe this is what he was referring to.
Anyways there's my two cents. I'm stressed about this I won't lie. Free free to tell me why a 6 month pause is a good idea but I've already heard the other sides argument and I'm adamantly against it.
