In addition to the mentions in the post about Facebook AI being rather hostile to the AI safety issue in general, convincing them and top people at OpenAI and Deepmind might still not be enough. You need to prevent every company who talks to some venture capitalists and can convince them how profitable AGI could be. Hell, depending on how easy the solution ends up being, you might even have to prevent anyone with a 3080 and access to arXiv from putting something together in their home office.
This really is “uproot the entire AI research field” and not “tell Deepmind to cool it.”
