"Please stop training these AI" is almost comical, even if they are right and the signers are significant.

It would be far more effective to lobby for legislation on, say, liability related to the use of AI, data privacy (especially when it comes to training datasets), psycological manipulation, actual AGI research bounds and so on. They are just burning donator money with messages like that, and the research is not going to be bound without law or incentives.

It's too late. Anyone who pauses will simply be left behind.

This is especially salient if you think US domination of tech is better for the world than Chinese domination -- if the US pauses, China certainly won't. (And yes, US domination or Chinese domination of tech really are the only realistic outcomes.)
