The argument that tech companies’ current AI research programs are likely to lead to human extinction some time in the next 20-50 years is contentious and disputed, but it doesn’t involve any controversial claims about the relative importance of present vs future people. — PolitiTweet.org

I find the AI risk discourse to be frustratingly lacking in actionable ideas for me or anyone else to take, but again that’s almost the opposite of deprioritizing other work. On pandemics, I think it’s just clearly correct that this should be an urgent short-term priority. — PolitiTweet.org
