Ask HN: How did we go from wanting AGI to asking a 6 month pause on it?

I know the letter might be fake, but the overall tone seems to agree with the content of the letter. How did we go from desperately looking for a way to build AGI to a point that we plead everyone to just stop/pause achieving AGI level models? I understand the concerns written in the letter, but isn't the genie out of the bottle? How can anyone be sure that governments won't do it behind the scenes? Isn't AGI a first-mover advantage?
