TBPN: what AI ‘doomers’ actually propose for slowing down
TBPN 1 month ago 21 ● 125 sources
The AI doomer debate outlined a detailed “AI 2040” slowdown plan that aims to curb frontier AI development via compute limits, auditability, and restricted transfers of training systems and model weights. The proposal specifies that datacenters with more than 10k H100 equivalents (about $100m of hardware) would be limited to inference-only workloads verified by independent auditors. As a result, training and large R&D experiments would be paused or slowed toward an aimed capability timeline (including a roughly 5-year pause around 2035) while alignment and control work continues.
