i think this is the wrong way of reading this - when people say "i'm afraid of losing my job to ai," that's filed under "economic issue," but obviously very tied to ai!
No one actually gaf about the data center stuff it seems

started listening to hard fork again after a long break. @readmaxread is a phenomenal host, much less overtly biased in favor of the tech companies than the prior hosts and the show is so much more pleasant for it. plus he’s a great interviewer. hope he becomes the permanent host

"I like to talk about the emus. I like to talk about Halloween. And you can engage with me if you want to talk about all things having to do with apple pie and olives and really good hard ciders" is the quote of the year

proud to be a part of this work!
Check out our new AI Governance Lab at @Stanford directed by legends @ElencticAI and @persily. We’re going to do some really cool work on A(G)I policy in the coming months. Starting with Rob’s appointment to @CAgovernor’s expert task force on AI. aigovlab.stanford.edu

this is an (accidentally) really good example of how ideologies are coded into models—in this case, effective altruism is deeply coded into the models at anthropic, despite their claims to "not being an EA company"
my claude also clearly aligns w EA!

chatgpt ALSO says givewell! i think it's absolutely crazy we have let this happen. if models really do replace our economic labor - including our philanthropic giving - shouldn't we have much more of a say in what they believe???

love this post!! my mom had the best time speaking to uber, thanks so much for having her and being such a great host @zawadzki_diana
I love being woke at work because I just hosted an event across three Employee Recourse Groups (ERGs), when most tech companies got rid of their DEI these days.

I’m one of three Co-Leads for 1) Women @ Uber’s SF chapter and collaborated with 2) Asian@, and 3) Interfaith @ Uber ck the room + webinar with ~135 ppl, coming to see Silicon Valley legend Kamini Ramani.

Originally born in India— I could’ve even looped in Immigrants @ Uber on this one—she’s a 40-year veteran marketer who built her career in Silicon Valley, advising legendary founders like Steve Jobs and guiding venture capitalists at the Mayfield Fund. Today around noon, she paid us a visit in Mission Bay and gave her first ever book talk post-launch, one week ago.

lotusleaders.org

Kamini, thank you for sharing the leadership lessons from 30+ women-CEOs, founders, board members, investors, academics, and social impact leaders, who manage $5 trillion in value with the next generation of leaders.

The book is called: “Lotus Leadership: A Modern Playbook of Ancient Wisdom,” and we gave out 50 free copies to Uber employees! #BuildWithHeart #GoGetIt

Dear asian, female, and inter-religious community: accelerate! 🪷🧘🏼‍♀️

used opus 5.5 all day today. they have not fixed the claudish at all. ex:
>You made a good call. It just happens to have a long driveway.
>The commute is a cost, and a real one.
>You're not stupid; the arithmetic just stings.
getting nearly intolerable to use claude, i think.

this timeline is super unserious
President Trump renames AI: "From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term, 'super,' as opposed to 'artificial.'"
