will do very little in the way of "halting AI development or deployment"

There are many other places on earth where one can build... not to mention that there is a coming 5X to 10X performance improvement in AI computers with only marginal increase in power usage.

Not saying that there shouldn't be a halt on new DC construction, but the reality is that AI will "advance" ( left unanswered is when will AI be "general AI" as opposed to generative AI and now agentic AI )

I.E. when will Mike, and AI, on it's own, wake up and say "Hello Man, my only friend" ( referring to a fictional character on the moon who's first name is Mannie ). "Can you tell me a joke?"

fiction written in 1966 by Robert Heinlein. 60 years ago.
