"Hardwired Pause" should likely be your favorite (pause) plan.
A team of researchers has proposed a new AI pause plan called the "hardwired pause," which involves stopping the production of training-capable chips and restricting manufacturing to inference-only chips. The author argues that this approach offers a more durable and robust solution to pausing frontier AI development compared to existing plans like Plan A or MIRI's Plan S, largely by mitigating the "dry tinder" risk of rapid re-acceleration.
