alt Hacker NewsI do not work at an AI company. If you gave me a magic button, I would press it to halt all frontier AI development globally.

In other words "If others give me exactly what I want, without me making any effort for it, I will stop doing this thing I regret having to do". Someone might object that it's possible, achievable, and useful to produce partial success on the road to a comprehensive solution. Still others think it's best to not have a ceasefire while you negotiate the peace.
