  • Hugh White on why Trump is abandoning US hegemony – and that’s probably good

    2 weeks ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    What happened at the end of the Cold War was something very unusual, almost unprecedented. We had to stretch back to the Roman Empire to find an analogue, a comparison for the kind of role America took on. …For Americans, it was a moment of extraordinary drama and excitement. For all of us US allies in Europe and Asia, it seemed like the dawn of a golden age. And I wish it had lasted forever — it’s just not the way it has worked out.

  • Beth Barnes on the most important graph in AI right now — and the 7-month rule that governs its progress

    3 weeks ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    TranscriptBeth Barnes: I do think people have this reaction of, models can do this engineering stuff that’s more straightforward, but they can’t do this scientific insight or methodology or coming up with new inventions. But I do think a lot of what humans are doing when they do that is like having read a bunch of research papers and seeing that some method is analogous to some other thing — you know, sort of like nothing new under the sun.

  • Emergency pod: Don’t believe OpenAI’s “nonprofit” spin (with Tyler Whitmer)

    1 month ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    There’s memes out there in the press that this was a big shift. I don’t think [that’s] the right way to be thinking about this situation…You’re taking the attorneys general out of their oversight position and replacing them with shareholders who may or may not have any power. …There’s still a lot of work to be done — and I think that work needs to be done by the board, and it needs to be done by the AGs, and it needs to be done by the public advocates.

  • Emergency pod: Did OpenAI give up, or is this just a new trap? (with Rose Chan Loui)

    1 month ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    I do think that there is something to celebrate here. … But we’re far from done. … There’s an opportunity to actually really make this work — I think that’s an optimistic way of looking at it. Now that they have said the nonprofit will be in control, what we’re hoping for is to see details that will show us how the nonprofit will actually be in control. Like, the words are great… but what’s going to back that up?

  • Ian Dunt on why governments in Britain and elsewhere can't get anything done – and how to fix it

    1 month ago | 80000hours.org | Robert Wiblin

    TranscriptIan Dunt: Britain can tend to be a bit lost in the opium dreams of its own past. Whenever you hear a prime minister talk about Downing Street, the thing they always talk about is the staircase with all of the portraits of the various prime ministers. And I get it: some of those prime ministers were people that were crucial in the history of liberal democracy, or some of them fought off Nazism. I get that that is obviously a powerful thing.
