I think the reason Amodei and his gang are suddenly interested in an AI slowdown has nothing to do with preserving humanity and everything to do with providing an excuse for a bailout when the bubble pops.
“Uh-oh, we had to take a safety break and now we need taxpayer dollars to prevent the collapse of the US economy!”
Opinions?
I get it, but as much as he would like to be the president is not yet a dictator.
He might not care but the congress, house of reps might (as weak as they have been) i mean think of this he didnt get his way on intrest rates or money for said Irán war, and a bailout is not somthing a president can do on his own athority.
Again he has pushed these limits, but there are limits even in a real dictatorship there are limits.
I hope you are right. We will know for sure in about 6 weeks.
