"Slowing down," then, doesn't necessarily mean literally slowing down AI production.
It means making sure your testing environments are actually secure, that your agents have fail safes built in, and that admin access to critical systems isn't guarded by a plain text 4 letter password.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Almost 80% of Britain’s rising fiscal costs will come from ageing by 2075, dwarfing the pressures from defence spending, net zero and lower migration.
We should rebalance taxes away from work and towards wealth, says @benansell.bsky.social.

On the very day Sam published this, one of the most empathetic people of the last century died. And the response among every side of the political spectrum to her death suggests to me that empathy still has some miles left in it.
New post out:
Much of the right - led by Elon Musk - has decided the world's problems are caused by "suicidal empathy".
I look at where this phrase comes from, why it's a profoundly wrong misdiagnosis, and a misunderstanding of what empathy is.

One of the most common disinformation tactics I see right now is false generalization.
This tactic is often deployed by:
1) cherry-picking an outlier case,
2) falsely generalizing that this one case represents others, without proper evidence,
3) smear campaign targeting a larger community.

every time you write overly defensively you should remember that you are pursuing a strategy of writing careful sentences specifically for people who demonstrably either won't or can't read them
there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.
