What is extraordinary is there is no major politician of any country, that I'm aware of, stating that both AI risk is the key global priority and also that we need to pause
That should surely be the thing we need to change and anyone with clout needs to be trying to bend the ear of governments.
I don't understand a p(doom) less than 95%, people can't even explain to me a coherent story of how non - catastrophe happens. And yet there is no traction with world leaders at all.
As soon as we get ASI we are all dead - so honestly it just maybe gives us a bit more time on this earth
The idea that alignment of an ASI is a tractable problem is obviously absurd
