What's your take on the call to pause GPT-4.5/GPT-5?

While large language models may have both positive effects (increased productivity) and negative effects (climate effects, proliferation of unsourced media) and wide-ranging economic impacts, the letter doesn't really propose any concrete actions on how to address any of these concerns, short of an indeterminate pause. Also, bigger models exclusively mean better models. Part of solution will be new models that have more validation and safety checks built in, and to find new ways more efficient methods of training and evaluating these models.

100% disagree. It's like oldschool sellers protest on E-commerce.

Some business owners are signing this for the benefits of themselves and others who have real fear about what will happen if this keep going

Tech alarmists, disengenuous at best, ulterior motives at worst.

We should make sure it progress faster so we can have cheaper way of doing stuff instead of paying people to do it...

I think

Six months moratorium sounds suspiciously specific a pause, does it not? Sounds the Horse Trade when they saw Henry Ford getting it done. Sorry, ain’t happening.

Strongly disagree. It feels dishonest and deliberately playing to irrational fears to pretend that a sophisticated word prediction model is somehow a threat. These AI tools aren't being built to replicate human emotion, agency, or autonomy. They predict the next word in a sequence based on probability after consuming an enormous dataset. Musk and the others are trying to slow that progress by fearmongering and assuming the average person doesn't understand the basis of this AI explosion.

I think this is ridiculous ! Especially when you see which people are asking for it !
