Because if we do it now and then nothing happens for five years, people will call it hysteria, and we won’t be able to do this once we are close to x-risky systems.
I think we are already too close for comfort to x-risky systems. GPT-4 is being used to speed up development of GPT-5 already. If GPT-5 can make GPT-6, that’s game over. How confident are you that this couldn’t happen?

From the GPT-4 announcement: “We’ve also been using GPT-4 internally, with great impact on functions like support, sales, content moderation, and programming.” (and I’m making the reasonable assumption that they will naturally be working on GPT-5 after GPT-4).
