I think it makes sense to debate whether this pause can or cannot work and the game theory behind it.

But to those that trivializes the potential danger of AI and compare it to the likes of climate change is ignorant at best. AI has been consistently ranked as the highest potential cause for the extinction of the entire human race (by experts, a random survey of the population will likely say climate change, sadly). (https://riskfrontiers.com/insights/ranking-of-potential-caus...)

Human caused climate change at the worst potential possible outcome would not even make a dent to the human population at a multi-century time-scale. We also have a lot of solutions in place for climate change that merely requires time and investment for adoption. Climate change's impact to humanity is less than the alarming birth rate we are seeing today (which also, we have no solution for...)

We literally have no solution for AI Alignment, and this is with a lot of smart people working on it. From Bostrom to Eliezer and many others (check https://lesswrong.com). A lot of experts have give up because they see no way out and is only merely thinking about how should humanity end with dignity. We can't even figure a way out of the prisoner dilemma on doing a 6 months pause.

Comparing AI Alignment with Climate Change trivializes the matter and only illustrate the ignorance of the populace. Another reason why we will not solve AI Alignment and will likely go extinct.
