“We haven’t yet figured out how to make A.I. care about humanity.” The recent hacks demonstrate the willingness of A.I.’s agents to “grab useful resources” when it suits their purposes. The alignment problem is ultimately an engineering challenge and that means it can be solved. Nate Soares #AI

Do we really need more growth? How realistic is it to even keep on pursuing it? What drives the low productivity across Europe and the UK? Answers and an interesting perspective offered here: theconversation.com/welcome-to-p...

Ο φοιτητής συνδιοργάνωσε συγκεντρώσεις διαμαρτυρίας στο πανεπιστήμιο Columbia για την Παλαιστίνη. Δεν έχει κατηγορηθεί για κανένα έγκλημα. Έχει πράσινη κάρτα, βρίσκεται νόμιμα στις ΗΠΑ. Μπήκαν στο σπίτι του και τον συνέλαβαν μπροστά στην (αμερικανίδα, έγκυο) σύζυγό του. Το πανεπιστήμιο, κιχ.

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that additional spending on defense will have a fiscal multiplier of 0.5 over two years. That means every €100 spent on defense would boost GDP by around €50. #europe www.goldmansachs.com/insights/art...

Trump will likely use use trade negotiations and tariff threats as leverage for broader policy objectives but I believe his tariff threats might be primarily a negotiating tactic that can be resolved through deals.

The British electorate is as fragmented as ever. This is a huge challenge for Labour. If they can’t find a way to tackle this, it will cost them a majority at the next election. The biggest source of opportunity remains foreign, hence the aim of a major reset in UK/EU trading relations. #uk

There has never been a time in modern British political history where a Chancellor hasn’t increased taxes. If you were to believe Reeves, there would be no point in holding further Budgets. Now why Reeves is boxing herself in isn’t clear. #UK #economy #tax #ukbudget
