What’s hiding in the AI doomers’ satchels? Recently I watched Nouvelle Vague, Richard Linklater’s love letter and imaginative retelling of the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s iconic 1960 French New Wave film À bout de souffle (Breathless).

I don’t feel like I have a good handle at all on what else AI safety people might want, or why. This bothers me. I think it should bother you, too. But I intend to try to learn. And I’ll share what I know as I know it. I hope you will too.

We’re wasting AI’s real potential In my reading about AI, a theme is beginning to emerge.

Why protect only AI whistleblowers? Why regulate to advantage AI companies over human-powered businesses?

I think that if we keep answering hard questions for AI and AI only, we’re wasting a huge opportunity and creating a carveout/exemption for AI that we will likely come to regret later.

We’re going to have to watch a bunch of soulless toadies with either shit-eating grins or feigned indignation lecturing us about how there are countless TOTALLY INNOCENT reasons a grown man would spend hours alone with a teenage trafficking victim. Perhaps they were doing Bible study?

I hate to say it, but he cooked here.

We’ll be releasing the data with Trump’s tax returns.

The overlooked beneficiaries of SNAP: rural Americans - FREOPP As the shutdown crisis appears to wind down, policymakers should abandon prejudicial stereotypes and help Americans who need assistance.

"And, while it shouldn’t matter, most of those would be white; 89.4 percent would be U.S.-born citizens; nearly one in three would be elderly or disabled; and 83 percent of those who are able-bodied adults are working."

The First Amendment Won’t Go Quietly Welcome to the third Red Scare.

Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

We are in the weird situation of requiring novel policy responses to an authoritarian regime. As in: Demanding funds to be routed into escrow accounts the executive needs to jump through hoops to access.

This looks like they are trying to create an insurance market death spiral. Without the fsa, there is already a lot of incentive for healthy people to leave the market, and with cash to pay for the urgent care level med events that healthy people are likely to face, it's even worse.

The far right can win in Europe but it struggles to govern The continent’s political future could be defined by a never-ending struggle between the centre and the radical right

"The Dutch election suggests that gloomy narratives about the inexorable rise of the far right across Europe are wide of the mark. The real story looks a bit different." Thermostatic political backlash remains a thing www.ft.com/content/b7fd...

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."
