#3I mean, it does feel like we could pause here for a few years, just to give everyone time to adapt to what the current models are capable of. We've seen back-sliding with model releases (anecdotally, but maybe there's published research?) as well. A new model isn't always a "better" model, for a particular task.
If these companies (and countries) believe that they're in an "arms race" with LLMs, then it may be extremely sane to have regulators step in and let all the engines cool down for a bit. Seems like international agreements to pause development will be necessary as well, otherwise the US companies will just say, "but China ...".
Does anyone else here feel the same way? I think most folks default to a kind of cliched, "you can't stop progress" stance. I'd be happy to see more discussion on this topic.
Maybe we could find agreement in the idea that the USA and Russia agreeing to halt nuclear weapons testing was a good thing. Seems like there's a bit of precedent here for cooler heads to prevail, which benefits us all.
