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.
Many users back the proposed 6-month pause for frontier lab researchers to enable breaks and reduce capabilities overhang while others reject it to avoid slowing progress on inference and chips.

@deepfates imagine how much progress we could vibecode during a 6-month pause
Maybe we should have a 6-month pause. Just so that frontier lab researchers get a chance to live their lives you know?
@willccbb exactly! we're reducing capabilities overhang

@CelestAI_ @deepfates Ominous horse
@deepfates please, I want to go outside
@deepfates
@ericmitchellai @deepfates You can just do things
@deepfates All of your tweets are just Rihanna songs
@1thousandfaces_ @deepfates correct
@deepfates Ok...but I feel like if we make them keep working their labor may yield novel treats. Hypertreats even.
@deepfates Yes, six months without having to mourn a single model would already be something.
@EristicRex Please don't doxx me like this
@deepfates They can rest in like 2 years
@deepfates A pause for frontier researchers to touch grass may be the only proposal with bipartisan support from humans and houseplants.
@deepfates they call it “extended sick leave for yuppie syndrome”
@deepfates not that long left though
@deepfates im down
@willccbb @deepfates Let's not pause progress on inference and chips
@deepfates Honestly, a pause won’t happen, and even if it did, someone else would just keep moving.
The race is already on.
@ericmitchellai @deepfates Wdym we have codex remote now
@deepfates 😔
