So my proposal is AI companies decide which labs have come close to frontier and decide to slow it. Government decide to stop progress in that and they divide the revenue from all labs(for say 10 years), without any matter of where it is coming from. Any lab which reaches close to frontier gets a chunk in the pie. This will encourage labs to come close to the frontier but not dangerously close.

I had formatted the laptop both while getting it and returning it. I had filevault on and I wouldn't have shared my password.

The only thing that donation could pay for is marketing e.g. events and meetups.

I don't think so. Likely the pad with last 10 years max.

In any case, I highly doubt that but in any case sea level is almost certainly going to rise below a meter. Filling a meter higher with sand is a pocket change for this project.

China have more credible threat of bombing economically relevant building like TSMC, or capturing leaders and protestors like they already are doing in Hong Kong.

Most coders don't pay for tokens themselves. It's just on reddit and HN you would think that everybody does.

That is a terrible metric to look into. Github being down is news, but on a long enough time horizon Gitlab or other provider isn't significantly better. It's just they are in news less often.

Would you had said the same thing if a country like was developing and testing deadly virus on live population. I think in 5 years, it is possible that the AI will become that topic(if we assume AI becomes good and start hacking and controlling everything).

We would have done the same if it is about virus or nuclear weapons, and AI could become serious existential threat in the next 5 years.

For being offline and in silence, it is as achievable as ever, if not more. Companies/friends etc. now are more respectful of time and being offline or not picking up call now than they were 20 years ago.

Same answer? They raise the price and print more copies.

You can just print even 1 copy, just the cost per print will be higher.

In fact publishers getting some profit on the tail end of books is the best thing that could happen to authors and publishing industry.
