PauseAI's official proposal recommends[0]: "Only allow deployment of models after no dangerous capabilities are present." Their list of dangerous capabilities[1] does not include deepfakes, but it does include several unrealized ones that fit the description of this post here, including "a recursive loop of self-improvement, spinning rapidly out of control... called an intelligence explosion".

I appreciate you pointing out the Risks page though, as it does disprove my hyperbole about ignoring present-day harms completely, although I was disheartened that the page just appears to list things that they believe actions "could be mitigated by a Pause" (emphasis mine).
