I read California Governor Gavin Newsom's comments about SB1047 yesterday: “The governor said he is weighing what risks of AI are demonstrable versus hypothetical.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Here is my perspective on this: Although experts don’t all agree on the magnitude and

Sharing a brief write-up of our safety priorities: magic.dev/safety I’m also endorsing SB1047 – regulation is necessary to shape the race track we are all on. SB1047 is only part of what's needed, but it is a good start. I hope Gavin Newsom signs it into law.

In 1840, Alabama fused their Congressional districts into a single at-large election and the Whigs lost several seats to Democrats as a result. The ensuing political fight led to the nationwide single-member districts we have today. archive.fairvote.org/library/histor…

It was great to help organize this workshop while I was at CSET. There are so many open questions in this area. Good for policymakers to start getting ahead of them before the tech gets ahead of us!

Geoffrey Hinton says he is "flabbergasted" about being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics and he believes AI will exceed people in intellectual ability so we should worry about it "getting out of control"
