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.
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).

@warren.senate.gov just co-sponsored KOSA again 🤦🏽♀️ You CANNOT claim to be an ally to the LGTBQ community and support this awful bill. Your office blatantly ignored our Boston coalitions pleas, so let’s see how you feel about those phones being melted. CALL HER!

Trans people deserve to be seen + celebrated, not erased. Trans people deserve real allyship, not censorship. STOP KOSA
"In sum: Male sexual desire is good. It’s good because it often leads to sex, which is good. If anything, we need more male sexual desire these days. Gender and sex-negativity are why anyone thinks it’s bad."

“A man who earns only 20 per cent of the household income does about the same amount of housework as a man who earns 80 per cent!” Corinne Low wrote in her book Femonomics.
Attacks on US universities have created a "Trump bump." Applications to European business schools (excluding the UK) rose 11% this year. Applications to US programs were 1% lower.
European business schools gain from US pain

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

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?
Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 9mo agoIt begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States.

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.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 9mo agoEvery single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.
Houses are sacred and life is disposable ass ideology
Aaron Ross Powell@aaronrosspowell.com · 9mo agoBo French has a house someone else could occupy, and that someone else would be sure to contribute more value to America than Bo French, who is a stain on the country and its culture. So that's one towards the hundred million right there.
