Alignment is a two-sided problem. Enormous effort goes into making AI capable and aligning it with our values. Almost none into preparing our institutions to absorb it. Even a perfectly aligned system fails in a society that isn't ready for it. www.noemamag.com/what-humanit...

One thing I love about this piece by @ellegriffin.bsky.social is that she gets that even the best cases of dictatorships are really just ways of implementing smarter democracy...shortcuts there, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but ultimately democracy is the good outcome.

Interesting paper that @noupside.bsky.social brought to my attention. I'd interpret the conclusion on bridging a bit differently. This suggests bridging works, but that doing it globally reduces diversity...yes! That's why we need pluralistic bridging: www.noemamag.com/building-a-p...

And thereby helps to some extent justify, I think, the deep mistrust so many have towards economic and money-based solutions to political settings, and possibly points to how to think in a way consistent with mechanism design past these limitations.

While this all may sounds ultra-econ-nerdy (it is!), it is really a deconstruction of the econ paradigm from within it, showing that the paradigm just cannot deal with a world of public goods/increasing returns in any meaningful sense.

But in this setting the simple money-based versions of QV do run into real issues...basically, in this pure public goods setting, reallocating my currency to someone else who has the same preferences as me is just as good as giving it to me...so realistically we need to think

Thus, in settings in which public goods actually are a meaningful thing, VCG is not a solution to them. The direct problem highlighted here is not an issue for Quadratic Voting (or the AGV versions of VCG which are ~the same, but require the planner to know value distributions).

as shown by Casella et al. (2012), the equilibrium ends up being nothing like an optimum: everyone puts all their value on the few things they care most about, so you get dictatorship of the most issue committed, not anything like aggregate welfare/Pareto optimality.

they only infrequently get "called on" to actually pony up because they are very rarely pivotal. But note that, given the numeraire is artificial to begin with, everyone wants to try to exhaust the numeraire...you can't take it with you beyond this economy as it is all
