Vitalik: Building AI Compute <em>Pause</em> Capability More Valuable than Single Stop Switch

BlockBeats News, December 17, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented on "US Senator Bernie Sanders' Call to Halt Construction of AI Mega Data Centers," suggesting that instead of a simple pause, having the ability to build a "pause button" would be more valuable, with the ability to drastically reduce computing power by "90-99%" in critical moments.

Vitalik also argued that there should be a distinction between super large-scale computing clusters and consumer-grade AI hardware to promote a more decentralized development approach.
