"Once we have everyone agreeing on this conditional pause, I think we can enforce this pausing of AI. The reason we are pausing AI is because we believe that building AI can automate AI research and can self-improve, like a danger to the human race, especially human extinction."
"It is the closest thing to section 230 that protected social media for years. Basically you can't sue someone for posting something there. Now we're dealing with the consequences because we were excited about how it was going to connect people, but there was no accountability for the platforms."
