My new piece on AI safety confusion is out. The AI Safety Debate Is All Wrong by Daron Acemoglu @ProSyn prosyn.org/ZmaFNaQ

We are often told that AI will help solve the climate crisis and reduce our carbon footprint. For example, by The World Economic Forum recently: weforum.org/agenda/2024/02…

El FMI (!) en su último Fiscal Monitor (cap 2) discute sobre la posibilidad de adoptar políticas fiscales para promover la innovación y la difusión de tecnologías. Va breve hilo

“El sueño de todo outsider, gobernar sin política ni políticos, sólo con técnicos, familiares y amigos, dura una luna de miel o mientras fluya el dinero”, dice @Miguel_De_Luca clarin.com/opinion/decalo…

¿Qué tan excepcional es el DNU 70/2023? Para poder entenderlo, tratamos de ponerlo en contexto con toda la historia de los DNU. 🧵

1) Latin America is far 2) Latin America is near 3) It’s a potential energy powerhouse 4) The politics aren’t as bad as you think 5) The digital story is amazing . Now in video form: youtu.be/X7nSmzBTpck?si…

One of my favorite recent episodes. @MauricioCard and I tried to take the long view on issues like renewable energy, productivity and LatAm’s “biggest opportunity in decades” americasquarterly.org/article/aq-pod…

Yep, it always feels dangerous to take a "bullish" view of Latin America especially after a lost decade but here is a 🧵 with my 5 reasons to be *relatively* optimistic about what's happening right now, from our new issue out today: americasquarterly.org/article/a-rela…

"An average user’s conversational exchange with ChatGPT basically amounts to dumping a large bottle of fresh water out on the ground... Microsoft’s water consumption has increased 30% y/y to keep AI supercomputers online"

The region is stuck. ISI (until the 80s), market reforms (90s), neoextractivism (00s), trade with China (10s)—Nothing works because the problem is weak states and semi liberal democracies. Every parag. in this piece is a gem. @ProSyn?referral=b81533 prosyn.org/hJtqd1C

¿Qué es lo que preocupa a EEUU? China lidera 37 de las 44 tecnologías críticas del futuro. En 8 hay riesgo de monopolio. ¿Todo esta perdido? Veamos 🧵 -Medido por el Instituto Australiano @ASPI_org

🇧🇴🔋🇨🇳🇷🇺Bolivia signs a deal with China & Russia to develop the massive Uyuni salt flat's lithium resources. The MAS govt has been sympathetic to Putin's Russia & maintains its strident anti-US stance, which has given both China & Russia a foothold. mining.com/web/bolivia-se…

Do the tragic events surrounding the disappearance of the Titanic submersible hold any lessons for AI safety? I believe yes.

AI myth 1. Turing hypothesis, about computers and the human mind. Alan Turing made huge breakthroughs in mathematics, including with his analysis of computable functions. His ideas also shaped the way that many people think about the human mind.

Hoy recordé este gran paper de Tornell y Velasco con una punto bien relevante para la discusiones en Arg: ¿Qué impone más disciplina fiscal, un TC fijo o un flexible? Resulta que el TC flexible puede imponer más disciplina que el el fijo. Por que? El susto disciplina... 1/

Excelente hilo para pensar cuan “inteligente” es la inteligencia artificial y sus potenciales riesgos asociados
