Summary
Brundage endorses Robinson's essay and says iterative deployment "maybe briefly made sense in the GPT-3 era" but no longer does, given deaths tied to AI and approaching extinction-level risks; "the industry needs to mature ASAP".

David’s right.
I regret helping spread the idea of “iterative deployment” which maybe briefly made sense in the GPT-3 era but makes no sense at all after many deaths have been tied to AI and as we’re careening towards extinction-level risks.
The industry needs to mature ASAP.
