dcolascione compares Scott Alexander’s AI pause essay to Lenin’s 1920 pamphlet
A commentator reads both works as arguments for working within powerful institutions rather than abandoning them.
TLDR
In “Against SURA,” Scott Alexander proposes pursuing a global AI pause, with a fallback in which safety-minded companies use a shared lead to research alignment if the pause fails. A commentator compares the essay with Lenin’s 1920 pamphlet, focusing on whether to work within powerful institutions. The detailed parallel is the commentator’s interpretation, not an established passage-by-passage match.
