At what point does an AI safety warning become serious enough to justify stopping development?

I figure when it cuts off electricity, water or causes a nuclear meltdown at a power station killing a few thousand people is about the time that anybody with the power to act will act. And not a minute before.

Something on the scale of Fukushima, Pearl Harbor or the 2008 financial crisis.

Whether anyone will be able to reign it in at that point I guess we will see. Bulk buy popcorn for your fallout shelter.

Did anything change after 2008? It doesn't seem so.

They'll realize it when the world starts looking like a Terminator movie, but by then it'll be too late.

How are we going to get every country to agree to stop? Even if we all do you can guarantee one country will forge ahead regardlessly seeing the ban as an advantage in the AI race.

If anyone isn’t scared of what AI can do yet, they won’t figure it out

It won't happen. The brainless masses will swallow whatever is spoon-fed to them. It has been happening in the entertainment world for a long time already.

They're never going to stop developing it, that happens on a corporate and governmental level, and as long as they're making obscene profits from it they're never going to stop. When did the development of any emerging technology ever stop?

You can't stop development of AI any more than they could stop development of the atom bomb. At least the atom bomb didn't wipe us out yet.
