    TLDR

    Miles Brundage published a Guardian opinion piece stating he worked at OpenAI and supports the Pacing the Frontier letter from AI employees calling for government intervention on frontier systems. He adds that companies can and should move first on four preparation steps including company audits. Gary Marcus reposted the article and agreed that firms must act independently while regulation develops.

    @Miles_BrundageNEW from me in the Guardian -- I agree with the AI company employees who wrote, in their "Pacing the Frontier" letter, that the government should be stepping in. But companies could also be doing more to step up on their own already. I discuss 4 ways to prepare for a possible slowdown: 1. Auditing of each company is a key part of enforcing a slowdown. Companies can do pilots of that process today. 2. Actively participate in + set up new cross-industry governance bodies, e.g. to share safety lessons. 3. Invest in the technologies needed to verify a slowdown (or another kind of agreement) with China. 4. Push for legislation that starts putting key institutions in place. I've been worried about race dynamics in AI for a long time, and e.g. coauthored one of the early papers on it. It was hard to keep up on safety and security in the GPT-3 days, let alone today. The competitive dynamics are part of why I founded @AVERIorg, and am trying to make frontier AI auditing effective and universal as quickly as possible. But it's important to distinguish a difficult situation from an impossible one, and companies have a lot of agency that they aren't always using.
