Talarico is pretty damn left wing on trans issues. If trans issues is your main motivator, vote Talarico - there is no viable alternative. It's time to cancel purity tests and purity culture. www.transiticsnews.com/p/james-tala...

James Talarico Tells Supporter He’ll ‘Always’ ‘Fight for Trans Kids’ in New Video
Talarico, under fire for seemingly walking back some of his support for trans rights, recently promised to “fight for trans kids” and stressed that his pro-trans positions “haven’t changed.”

Notice this features a centrist organization (Third Way) advocating AGAINST abandoning trans rights. This is an important counter-example to include in your calculus about where Democrats stand.

My city's government has an official article on trans athletes, not a bad article at all. For trans men, letting them play in mens sports is easy. For trans women, IMO I think a much greater deal of caution is still warranted, but I'd still oppose a blanket ban. www.sf.gov/trans-women-...

The list that would actually help protect trans rights in the upcoming election would be “red-state Republican state legislators who could plausibly get picked off by Democrats to either get a majority or break a supermajority”

The "Tescreal" thing is the most absurd concept ever. They lump in various groups of people who are vaguely pro technology, but beyond that, they massively diverge in ideology. Bonus points: the individual who coined the term thinks cancer is a "disease of civilization" rather than an aging one.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

i think this is probably a good take 1. risk of extinction is unlikely, but still too likely for comfort 2. probably of international cooperation is also unlikely 3. who knows, might research our way out of this mess

@tszzl 20h
I quote tweeted Evan a few days ago agreeing but deleted it because I don't like the false precision of the doom numbers
- i claim there is a quite low but real chance of human extinction from machine intelligence
- no matter how low it is in absolute terms, it is much higher on the orders of magnitude scale than any other human or nonhuman activity, and must be taken with grave seriousness by governments and ai companies across the world, as possibly the only matter of importance today
- it can and will be mitigated if the right research is done and proper precautions are taken and we are not racing at absurd speeds
- better models will help solve alignment - we are not at the point where things are existentially dangerous, and probably won't be for some time. we should not be upset about the creation of Astra Fable or ++ versions, which are tremendous achievements of humanity, and will be used for enormous good across the board including for fundamental alignment generalization and mechinterp research
- my number / "very low" estimate obviously changes based on how much of humanity's resources are devoted to alignment, control, coordination and how responsible i expect various parties to be and how many warning shots i expect us to get- the core IABED argument about risks mostly relies on alignment being much harder than capabilities research, especially where it concerns black box optimizers. i suspect neural nets will turn out to be less black boxy than we thought, especially with the help of modern agents doing research
- crying bloody murder and signaling for international coordination are useful things to do for now to directionally slow down, while i really don't want butlerian jihad
- i think that, despite the mood these few days, and the "ban superintelligence act"
", i still
find the likelihood of achieving international coordination to stop ai progress incredibly low. this has not worked even for weapons or technologies at a far lower level of importance and economic value. it seems more likely we can have something like international safety standards and scientific coalitions, and especially seems possible to have the US-China "pacing the frontier" agreement to slow down on the margin. we shouldn't die from embarrassing failures like "shitty RL envs that encourage deception"

Slowing down the Frontier of AI in terms of its increasing capabilities like RSI does not necessarily mean a "slow down" in AI research. If anything, we may see a redirection of resources towards alignment and safety until it catches up. darioamodei.com/post/we-must...

While Trump's proposal for the $5,000 GOP dividend is absurd... I like the idea of a UBI or annual Dividend for every American, but it should be funded via things like AI taxes as this technology gets more advanced. And it should not depend on an which party remains in control.

It appears some people really do struggle with reading comprehension. When James Talarico says he would oppose trans athletes in girls’ sports ‘IF it risks safety or fairness’. It does not mean he opposes trans girls in girls sports. If means it depends in what is true or false.

Using software to help write software should never had been controversial to begin with. Morally, using AI for code is not the same as AI for art. While I'm fine with both AI code & art, Code and art serve very different applications. It's not always hypocritical to dislike ai art and like ai code.

GLM-5.3-Flash is better at coding than the mainline variant of GLM-5.2 despite having about an order of power less computational cost. I'm still absolutely blown away that they managed to accomplish this, and it's every bit as impressive in its own right as the releases of Astra and Fable 5.1
