AI Geniuses Are Decidedly Not Policy And Economic Geniuses
Authored by David McGarry via RealClearMarkets,
Geniuses are an odd species. To paraphrase Montesquieu, the exceptional are often also a bit loony. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a devotee of spiritualism, believed himself to have communicated with the spirit of George Washington. To improve his health, Henry Ford devoured weeds, and Thomas Alva Edison was averse to bathing. The point: geniuses are an odd species, who, for all the indispensability of their works to American prosperity and innovation, ought not be trusted credulously. Today in Washington, D.C., Congress must endeavor to protect artificial intelligence (AI) from the technologists most prominent in its creation.
Anthropic's Dario Amodei desires the U.S. government (an agent of compulsion) to dictate the "pace" of innovation, as the CEO wrote this month. "I have become convinced that fully addressing the risks requires even more prudence - not just investing in risk prevention, bu...

Badenoch is trying to match Farage step for step – but it′s a dance of death for the Tories | Polly Toynbee (The Guardian)
|
|
|
At conference here in Birmingham I found a small battalion of centrist remainers with a vision of the Conservative party to comeYou can walk all the way from Somerset to Sussex without crossing a Tory-run constituency, if you wish. You could also travel through each of the counties of Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey without setting foot in Tory lands. They are now mainly Liberal Democrat, and there's not one Tory MP in all of Oxfordshire.Is Kemi Badenoch bothered? Everything she does seems cleverly designed to keep those places lost to her forever as she woos Reform voters, unsuccessfully. The more she leans right, the more she repels home counties moderates. Those Reform voters are not coming back, psephologists say. Without reclaiming the old “blue wall”, there is no hope, ever, of a Tory majority, say both profs Tim Bale and Rob Ford and just about every political authority you care to ask.Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist Continue reading......
