This open letter — ironically but unsurprisingly — further fuels AI hype and makes it harder to tackle real, already occurring AI harms. I suspect that it will benefit the companies that it is supposed to regulate, and not society. Let’s break it down. 🧵futureoflife.org/open-letter…

Do you have an idea of how to accelerate scientific progress on socially important problems?
If so — and if seed funding for a research project would help — please apply to a new re-granting program @PaulFNiehaus, @calebwatney, and I are co-leading.

This! 100% this! I have been watching all the coverage of chat gpt and bing etc and feeling this but struggled to put it on to words. These models are what we have said they are because we have trained them on what we have said about them. theverge.com/23604075/ai-cha…

Look. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Harry has a problem with his family then he needs to persuade the French to fund him, raise an army, invade and seize the crown.
What else was Brexit for, if not to restore traditional British approaches and values?
