Deepfates proposes six-month pause on frontier AI development
San Francisco writer and AI technologist Deepfates proposed a six-month pause on frontier AI development to give researchers time for personal matters during current training cycles. Research engineer Will Brown replied that the same period could deliver notable gains in vibecoding output. The exchange formed part of wider online discussion about temporary halts to advanced model training runs.
@deepfates imagine how much progress we could vibecode during a 6-month pause
🎭@deepfatesMaybe we should have a 6-month pause. Just so that frontier lab researchers get a chance to live their lives you know?

#878🎭@DEEPFATES@willccbb exactly! we're reducing capabilities overhang
