Statement from Dario Amodei on the Paris AI Action Summit \ Anthropic
(The degree of transparency is tricky because it is supposed to maintain privacy at the individual grain, but make operations obvious at the government altitude. Someone also needs an ability for quick response when results are off kilter. It is not completely automated like a real factory. Or open and closed cases. Another issue may be that everything gets over classified again to keep it out of the hands of meddling execs.)
Nukes, political violence, and environmental exploitation: The enduring relevance of Dune
(Modeling people takes more than emotional inventory since they likely took a lot of rehearsal or training, over multiple nervous systems, to get where they are. Can AI get charisma down? With or without appeal to empathy? What will that mean for elections? BCI?)

(You have to wonder about the author's objectives here, e.g. addressing the risk of Doomers as an extreme example who used it as motivation for other things. Now they can return to their regularly scheduled horror stories. Back in the day, a lifeguard would loosen the stranglehold a desperate swimmer had on them by diving so they could swap positions and carry them safely to shore. But this may also be a pun on Chomsky like machine learning itself. Newport, on the other hand, might drag them off the beach entirely. Or in terms of mathematical philosophers, DFW would have nth-order footnotes. Bostrum, Wolfram, have you ever seen them together? FLI had simply argued for a halt. Toss in etiology, and brevity is history. So, it appears to be a Monty Python API. Hanson begrudgingly on the Muppets. Sandberg ahead.)

He likened the book to a particle accelerator that smashes atoms together to study their parts, such as quarks. In “Deep Utopia,” he said, he smashed values into one another to study their composition.
(The author also spreads the topics across a week. Each day, they go through sentiment, logic, and symbolism. So it may be mimicking how the parts of a brain do interpretation. Or that could be the journaling routine. As mnemonic for both self and reader.)
Reusable Sticky Notes - Starter Kit
"Useful in a variety of ways"
"The Sticky Notes are sturdy as advertised. Nice to convert any other surface into a Rocketbook. Use them in combination as a spread such as replicating a planner template. Since am using a Core and Flip alternately for that and journaling, stuck these inside the covers for weekly status at a glance. Also for daily priorities, although the Mini is also good. Basically will pick up any extra content like ideas or todos to be transferred somewhere or accomplished. Am trying to generalize categories for an overall agenda between this and digital notes so these are, like the cloud cards, good for experimentation. Save facts for quick reference."
