When I become god-emperor one of my first official decrees will be that anyone who worked for Trump, was a part of any of his administrations, enabled him officially or unofficially, or simply voted for him will be legally forbidden from buying or eating cheese. This may seem cruel, but it is.

It is important that the German Greens directly reject the UK Green Party’s resolution titled "Zionism is Racism" and welcome the suspension of its voting rights within the European Green Party. It‘s urgently necessary for the @europeangreens.eu to distance itself from the UK Green Party’s position.

this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Two changes are urgently needed. First: AI companies need to rely more on the safety expertise that already exists in other fields. And second, before we create systems significantly more capable than the ones we have today, we need new science to ensure that more capable models (and their successors) will make safe choices when we aren’t looking.

Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do. In a nuclear-power plant, the technical systems and rules people follow are set up so that, if equipment breaks or someone pushes the wrong button, we still won’t risk a meltdown. OpenAI and other labs are growing and deploying frontier AI with far less redundancy and rigor than this, even though the harm from an irreversible loss of control would be much greater than the harm from any single meltdown. Even short of a full loss of control, we could see autonomous swarms of AI agents that act without human permission. Imagine “rogue” agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep.

I don’t think Kemi is a naturally likeable person, like Starmer but in a different way. If you were upset: Burnham would take the time to listen, console you and make you feel better. Starmer wouldn’t notice you were upset. Kemi would explain why it is your fault and how she is better.

Part of this is we had our adjustment earlier thanks to Liz truss, but a lot of it is that the Uk is one of the only countries where the politics of fixing the deficit seems tractable. Both because we can just raise taxes and because the politics is not so frozen.
