@kevinroose Your line about wanting "people from lots of disciplines to weigh in on this stuff--not just by posting online--but by actually building these systems. I want philosophers, ethicists, sociologists and anthropologists advising these companies..." It's happening w/ @AllTechIsHuman

Some news: I'm writing a book about AGI! I've spent the past few years hanging out in San Francisco's AGI scene — the small cluster of people working to build human-level AI, or trying to stop it from being built, or living as if it's already here. I've heard a lot of great stories, and done a bunch of columns and podcasts. But I think this era also deserves a real-time, journalistic account that captures all of the nuance and detail and behind-the-scenes drama of the race to AGI in a durable format. So I'm writing one. Get in touch if you have stories to share!

What’s wrong with a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation? It stalls growth, say Nathan Sanders and Alex Pascal in the @cwbeacon. “Regulating technology to protect people’s well‑being actually creates pressure for better innovation.” commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/mass-m…
