> governments should step in and institute a moratorium
HOW??? what does this even mean? does Kamala Harris get to put a camera in my house to make sure I don't watch Khan Academy videos on neural nets?
half this list just reads of people who have been toiling away in AI for years only to watch OpenAI walk off with the hype award. Sorry Mr. Bengio you will get an honorable mention, we promise
and Woz...seriously dude you have spent the last decade making yourself look like a lovable fool. go play with your grandkids
(and even in the twitter thread, someone makes the obvious call that many of the signatories probably just feel left behind, totally blindsided at the progress OpenAI has made while they just plod along)
Well, if (for example) US government tomorrow via treasury or commerce or secret service sends a stern letter to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft forbidding say mining bitcoin, or whatever, it will not immediately halt things but you can be certain those companies will comply.

This is not even worthy of strawman designation.

This is possible for some of the signatories. It is also possible to read this as "make them wait while we catch up".
It is also possible that many genuinely believe the pace is outstripping reasonable foresight in assessing consequences.
I would re-frame the proposal this way (as a motivation to consider the open letter):
If we could turn back the clock to 2000, would we change various aspects of the integration of 'social networks' into society, and if yes what would those be?
