seven months later, I am pleased to report that while morale remains alarmingly low, there *has* been a marked reduction in reports of in-group fighting about timelines
does the AI safety field have an alignment solution for future, more capable models? the answer is no. but does it have a detailed and pointed plan to develop a solution? also no. but! does the research community have determination & espirit de corps?!! wait, why are you crying? come back!!

So what's very funny here is the actual underlying claim is "companies are faking enrollment and just walking away with the subsidies" (which is plausible!( but politicians are unable to actually frame it like this.

He pushes back against doomerism while also calling for the labs to be *fully shut down* if lesser harms occur.
I really think we have to go slow to keep going fast here - nobody wants the future where a catastrophe leads to a full shutdown but we're painting ourselves into a corner with rhetoric.

Folks like to lump all the groups and motivations (and, here on BSKY, sexual proclivities) of the people in AI safety together, but the reality is a complex and often contradictory cast of characters.

people think that the concept of bulverism means they can dismiss any idea that could be explained by a self interested motive, no matter what other motivations are proffered. the whole idea is junk though; it turns out Ezekiel Bulver made *millions* teaching people about it and relished the name

One month later, caches have run dry in the U.S., the hot war in the Gulf is spreading, and prices at the pump are rapidly rising with diesel at all time highs. There continues to be no sign that any of this will end, and I suspect it continues worsening rapidly in the near term. 1/
