I read a lot of agreement with the six months memorandum and very little discussion of the details and what the proposed memorandum would actually do.
The memorandum says ‘we call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.’
Most AI labs are unlikely to develop anything more powerful than GPT-4 in the next six months anyway, so would likely continue with business as usual. Even if OpenAI would wait six months to train GPT-5, they would still do a lot of research to increase capabilities during those six months.
Projects like AutoGPT which are not about training big models would still be developed the same way they are developed now.
[Question] What would the FLI moratorium actually do?
