David Shapiro Doesn't Get PauseAI | Liron Reacts


Listen Later

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.
