What's your take on the call to pause GPT-4.5/GPT-5?

100% disagree. It's like oldschool sellers protest on E-commerce.

Some business owners are signing this for the benefits of themselves and others who have real fear about what will happen if this keep going

Just rich people desperate to play catch-up.

Tech alarmists, disengenuous at best, ulterior motives at worst.

I think

Six months moratorium sounds suspiciously specific a pause, does it not? Sounds the Horse Trade when they saw Henry Ford getting it done. Sorry, ain’t happening.

Strongly disagree. It feels dishonest and deliberately playing to irrational fears to pretend that a sophisticated word prediction model is somehow a threat. These AI tools aren't being built to replicate human emotion, agency, or autonomy. They predict the next word in a sequence based on probability after consuming an enormous dataset. Musk and the others are trying to slow that progress by fearmongering and assuming the average person doesn't understand the basis of this AI explosion.

I think this is ridiculous ! Especially when you see which people are asking for it !

disagree

I mean... when the person spearheading the movement is also poaching OpenAI employees to build a competitor it tells me that it's just companies trying to catch up to OpenAI and get an edge. It's game theory, nobody has the incentive to stop, everyone has the incentive to be the first mover
