I honestly don’t know and thinking about this fills me with despair. Every good solution requires time and that seems to be the main thing we’re short of.
Has anyone done serious research into what it would take to slow down progress in the field of AI? Could we just ban hardware improvements for a couple of decades and place a worldwide cap on total compute? I realize this would be incredibly unpopular and would require a majority of the world’s population to understand how dangerous powerful AI will be. But one would think FLI or someone else would have started doing research into this area.
