In theory, people who are constantly thinking about the risks should be able to make a reasonable decision about “when to pause”, but in practice I think there is a lot of important work to do today making the “pause” more likely in the future, including on AI safety standards and on the kinds of measures described at https://www.cold-takes.com/what-ai-companies-can-do-today-to-help-with-the-most-important-century/
