  This article on the AI-race is worth a read. I have to say, though, I'm always struck by the almost child-like geopolitical naivety of the solutions that some of these AI experts are coming up with https://www.ft.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Important read on AI from @soundboy, especially as we are not well equipped to grapple with systemic & fat tail risks. God-like AI presents one of the most serious existential threats we have faced as a species. https://www.ft.com/...

  Fascinating and important article by @soundboy calling for slowing down of race to AGI in 3 ways: 1. Governments should grill leaders of research labs 2. Employees in those labs should quiz their leaders 3. Time to create a CERN-like entity for AGI https://www.ft.com/...

  “I gradually shifted from shock to anger. It felt deeply wrong that consequential decisions potentially affecting every life on Earth could be made by a small group of private companies without democratic oversight” @soundboy https://www.ft.com/...

  One of the best AI essays that I've seen in a mainstream newspaper, from @soundboy Key democratic question - the explicit aim of several AI companies is to create AI better than humans at almost any task. Shouldn't the public get a say on if we want this? https://www.ft.com/... h…

  This is a sobering read on our hell-for-leather dash towards more sophisticated AI. It's the classic Jurassic Park conundrum. Just because we can, does that mean we should? (£) https://www.ft.com/...

  “My view is that the present and future harms of AI are not mutually exclusive and overlap in important ways. We should tackle both concurrently and urgently” https://www.ft.com/...

  Why a prolific investor in AI is now having second thoughts about the dangers of creating a super-intelligence: “God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race.” https://twitter.com/.…
