Hello!

I've got a new post up attempting to make some sense of all of the discussion lately about AI risk, pauses on AI development, and trying to stake a position for a sensible path forward. I hope you find it interesting and thought-provoking. Feedback always welcome.

tl;dr: The promise of AI is too great to be left to warring factions with totalizing metanarratives. Skeptical optimists — those who believe that potential problems posed by rapid AI development are solvable with effort and coordination — have a vital role to play and are more likely to change minds, build coalitions, and get things done. They recognize that safety enables speed and want to secure the best possible AI-enabled future for the most people.
