I strongly agree with Steven Byrnes suggestion that we consider things on a case-by-case basis. I think it’s both clear that some people in the alignment community have already taken actions that have significantly shortened timelines and also that it’s possible to go too far. I suspect that the earlier someone is in their career, the less they need to worry about accidentally causing capability externalities lest they end up paralysed, but the further people go, the more careful they have to be.
