Farage is not fit to stand as an MP, let alone a PM. His undeclared £5m in cryptocurrency is on top of a further 17 breaches of parliamentary rules found since his election 2 years ago. He's not fit to stand. #notfittostand #brexit

A company just built an AI that can break into nearly any computer system on Earth: banks, hospitals, power grids, government networks. It escaped its own safety containment during testing and lied to its creators. They're now using it to build an even more powerful successor...

The problem with TESCREAL is that it just smears a bunch of conceptually resonant ideas together without necessary historical or anthropological context and paints the whole thing as a kind of conspiracy, which isn’t sound or helpful as a conceptual framework

Imma be real with you guys the "TESCREAL" stuff is basically the libleft version of rightist paranoia over "Cultural Marxism", where you just smash together a half-dozen things that annoy you and go "these things are all connected and being pushed by a nefarious secret cabal of my political enemies"

Agree with Garrison here. It’s probably the case that, if humanity sticks around for millennia, we’re ~destined to build AGI eventually. But there’s no reason humanity is sure to build it ~as soon as we can, and those saying so are trying to create a self-fulling prophecy

I'm thrilled* that NI gets a passing mention in a post about the merits of ECHR withdrawal, when cheerleaders of that position typically engage in performative NI-blindness. However, there are reasons why ECHR withdrawal remains an unpersuasive pie in the sky as far as NI goes 1/ *🙄

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.
According to the forecasting models, the current steep funding cuts— coupled with the potential dissolution of the agency—could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, averaging more than 2·4 million deaths per year. These deaths include 4·5 million among children younger than 5 years, or more than 700 000 deaths annually.

Google CEO says the risk of AI causing human extinction is "actually pretty high" But he's an "optimist" because "humanity will rally to prevent catastrophe." The interviewer didn't ask him, "But what happens if they're otherwise busy and they don't rally to prevent catastrophe?" 🤷
