I think the proposal involves data centers becoming illegal (ideally both domestically & by international treaty) first, issuing warnings etc second, and bombing them third, and only when the other methods fail. Nobody is proposing to start a surprise campaign of bombing data centers out of the blue.
It would be more reasonable to say that Eliezer is proposing to put you out of work. Just like, if Person X has a job in a secret lab developing bioweapons, I and many other people would very much like to put that person out of work. They can find a different job, right? I wouldn’t particularly relish Person X dying as a side-effect of their place-of-work getting bombed—every death is a tragedy—but I do think that if someone proposes an international treaty against bioweapons labs, and the treaty has an enforcement mechanism that involves sometimes bombing bioweapons labs as a last resort, then I’m quite possibly in favor of such a treaty, depending on details.
Yes, it is.
I work in a datacenter sometimes. No AI has suggested to kill me yet / to destroy my place of work, and the author did.
