AI Researchers Propose Banning Powerful GPUs to Prevent Catastrophe
A new book by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argues that powerful GPUs should be outlawed and that any country building a large data center in defiance should be struck preemptively, even at risk of nuclear retaliation.
Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares have published a book titled "If Someone Creates It, Everyone Dies" in which they outline an extreme plan to prevent an AI catastrophe.
They propose making it illegal to possess nine powerful GPUs in a garage without international oversight. Furthermore, if any state builds a large data center despite a global ban, other nations should destroy it via sabotage or airstrike, even if it risks a nuclear response.
The post highlights this as a plan to save humanity.
