Writer at Philosophical Multicore on explicit Bayesian reasoning and decision-making
An alternative approach: Don't pause yet. First develop human-level AI that can help us solve the world's major problems. Don't develop superintelligence until we're on stable ground philosophically, but still take advantage of the productivity boost that AI provides. [...] This plan still requires pausing AI development at some point. In this scenario, it is critically important that we succeed at pausing AI before an intelligence explosion. Therefore, if this is our strategy, then the best thing to do today is to lay the necessary groundwork for a pause.

Pausing AI at human-genius level to solve alignment is safer than either racing to superintelligence or halting entirely
