I think the real reason he is asking for pacing, is that in a world were AI becomes rampant, he will be seen as Hitler. I would bet this is mostly self-motivated.

Not a mathematician.

The issue I see with a handed-over proof is tunnel-vision: you explore only the understanding of the proof.

Without a proof, your exploration branches out much further, in directions that could seem fruitless, but may uncover new understandings that are now "hidden" because the handed-over proof drastically lowered the incentives to find them.

Interestingly, I kinda disregarded the entire point about alignement - I think it's mostly fluff.

The part about RSI is what really interests me. Once you reach it, the singularity is only a matter of time.

I don't care about AGI, it does not seem to mean much anymore, and even though I originally laughed at ppl calling it AGI, I now agree. You can apply that current intelligence to anything that can be turned into a conversation.

It seems their flavor of RSI still need a human in the loop. So at least it won't scale as well for now.

Meanwhile Chinese chip-makers are chip-making. If you believe the threat of these open-weight AI is existential, how long do you think these bans (that only work for hardware) will work in your favor?

The fact that it's written by an LLM is cherry on the cake.

I missed the satire tag at the start and the first few paragraph seemed genuine. But it gets better as it goes.
