Summary
The author argues that a coordinated slowdown in AI development should apply to internal capabilities as well, to prevent concentration of power where advanced models like GPT-7 are used internally while the public only gets outdated versions.

A coordinated slowdown only works for me if the rules apply to internal capability too.
I don’t want a future where GPT-7 exists inside the lab, researchers use it to accelerate R&D, and the public gets GPT-6 forever because releasing anything better is considered unsafe.
That would be an enormous concentration of power.
