Unfortunately, that does not appear to be a stable solution. Even if the US paused its AI development, China or other countries could gain an advantage by accelerating their own work.
Arguing-for-pausing does not need to be a stable solution to help. If it buys time, that’s already helpful. If the US pauses AI development, but China doesn’t, that’s still less many people working on AI that might kill everyone.

That argument seems plausibly wrong to me.
