Some of the arguments in this document would call for an immediate, global, pause on frontier AI training: we need time to consider how and to what extent AI should be part of our future. Personally, I can't picture a scenario where humanity thrives alongside an alien super-intelligence, especially if it cannot be fully controlled. Let aside super-intelligence, I am not even sure that deploying an AGI that replaces (instead of augmenting/assisting) humans in most intellectual tasks would be in the best interest of our species. This conversation has to happen, on a global level and as soon as possible.

This might mean that the result was already known (I still have to check the outline of the algorithm).
