It’s tough to have “human flourishing” (which they mention as a goal) when things like health insurance are in such a shit situation. AI could help health insurance deny more claims, for sure. That’s not human flourishing though. (And my biggest gripe with capitalism is that at a certain late stage in many sectors, human flourishing is completely at odds with making profit.)

So the US government sees AI as a sphere of propaganda and wants AI output to align with political goals. Great. AI is going to be aligned, but in the worst way possible.

And so it begins. Both the US president and the president of China have demonstrated they see AI as a competition between their respective countries. This will be an interesting ride, if nothing else.

Yeah, two crabs locked in a cage as it spirals down the drain. Looks like plans to leave, for finding safe harbor elsewhere, have accelerated from the initial projection of 2030

Interesting that you mention it, because the NYT just released their ethicist commentary from today and the question was "how do I tell my rich friends to stop talking about fleeing the country": https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/magazine/rich-friends-fle...

„Advance the Science of AI 9“? Is this a reference to the AMD chip, or just a fragment of a removed numbered list? Edit: It‘s a fragment of the PDF-to-HTML [1] 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44661843

It's a failed copy/paste from the pdf version of the same content. Wouldn't expect better from these clowns.

No technology scares me. It's the hands it is in.
