Description: Today I’m reacting to David Shapiro’s latest YouTube video: “Pausing AI is a spectacularly bad idea―Here's why”.In my opinion, every plan that doesn’t evolve pausing frontier AGI capabilities development now is reckless, or at least every plan that doesn’t prepare to pause AGI once we see a “warning shot” that enough people agree is terrifying.We’ll go through David’s argument point by point, to see if there are any good points about why maybe pausing AI might actually be a bad idea.00:00 Introduction01:16 The Pause AI Movement03:03 Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Epistemology12:56 Rationalist Arguments and Evidence24:03 Public Awareness and Legislative Efforts28:38 The Burden of Proof in AI Safety31:02 Arguments Against the AI Pause Movement34:20 Nuclear Proliferation vs. AI34:48 Game Theory and AI36:31 Opportunity Costs of an AI Pause44:18 Axiomatic Alignment47:34 Regulatory Capture and Corporate Interests56:24 The Growing Mainstream Concern for AI SafetyFollow David:* youtube.com/@DaveShap* x.com/DaveShapiFollow Doom Debates:* DoomDebates.com* youtube.com/@DoomDebates* x.com/liron Get full access to Doom Debates at lironshapira.substack.com/subscribe
