I think citizens' assemblies is a brilliant idea to help us rethink and reshape our failing democratic processes.
THE DEBATE 📢Are citizens' assemblies a good idea?
🟢@stkaye argues yes, they can establish new consensus on social issues as seen in Ireland
🔴@93vintagejones counters no, they are by nature anti-democratic

Fascinating work by Anthropic on aligning AI models with public values.

What does it mean for AI development to be more democratic? To find out, we partnered with @collect_intel to use @usepolis to curate an AI constitution based on the opinions of ~1000 Americans. Then we trained a model against it using Constitutional AI.
ALT An illustrated line drawing of a scroll of paper (representing a constitution) on a beige background. Four hands hold pens and write on the scroll to convey the collective process of designing a constitution from public opinion. The scroll has no words, but a graphic that looks like a stylized asterisk.

“The Ministry for the Future” opens with a similar event, just set in the future and thus hotter still. A must-read novel by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Unfortunately for Indians and Pakistanis the extreme heat is not over and it will just get worse in few days:An incoming potentially deadly heat wave will see the temperatures soaring up to 48-49C in Pakistan and 46-47C in India. Stay tuned.

2️) review Paks2 nuclear power plant to be built by the 🇷🇺

Neal Stephenson coined the term “Metaverse” in 1992 to describe a dystopian future world based around virtual reality. It has since taken on a life of its own.
Join us 11/17 with Neal as we discuss his new book Termination Shock and his long-term vision. eventbrite.com/e/termination…
