@drstevex.bsky.social may I introduce you to @hayleygullen.com who wrote a brilliant and funny graphic novel about cancer? She'd be excellent for your medicine event.
graphic introduce cancer
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

Their words
The usual default math assumes debtors want to pay. But founder-controlled firms with a "you lent us too much" attitude introduce a strategic-default option that standard systems of ratings do not fully capture.

I find myself disagreeing with Terence Tao (a very scary phrase to say!) and think the core question posed is whether the "misalignment" is between the mathematical community and humanity. In other words - are the Millenium Prize problems meant to incentivize advancements for humanity or foster the field of mathematics and mathematicians? As a counter example, if there was a prize for creating a drug that cured a rare strain of cancer, we would not care if it was AI that did it. We would be happy it has been solved. On the other hand, if long running agents figured out the puzzle in "Kryptos"… AI alignment Related

Mathematicians rank problems according to their difficulty. Society looks at them in terms of relevance. I've fought that cancer in mathematical finance where these retards ignore v. relevant issues, some critical, because they deem them trivial. Let AI wipe them out.

Swedish designer and programmer. Designed early Spotify, worked at Facebook and Figma, and created the Inter typeface.
Inter is having impact beyond my wildest dreams. When I started working on Inter ten years ago, I didn’t even expect it to survive the prototyping stage. Now it’s used by governments (including Switzerland, which is ironic in a way) and non-profit organizations around the world, bringing good typography to the people. It warms my heart to see so many young designers being able to express themselves in “Swiss style” without the need to break any laws. When I was a kid and an aspiring graphic designer, I could barely afford food and definitely did not have the money to buy font licenses. I wish… Quoting @SaberNaeemi Inter font is so popular these days on @googlefonts. Designed by @rsms, did you know at the beginning it was launched under the name "Interface" before being renamed to "Inter UI" and eventually shortened to just "Inter"? Related

Chief scientist at Redwood Research, where he works on technical AI safety and AI control.
Their words
when AIs are extremely extremely capable my view is that those AIs will be harder to align than current systems. So for current systems, we have this feedback loop where we basically like we create an AI. We do some evaluations on it. We see that it has some kind of messed up behavior that we can kind of quickly understand. Then we like can like go look in training and be like, "Oh, the these training environments led to this problematic behavior. Let's like tweak that training data. Let's introduce some additional training data to like correct this other issue and then move forward from there." But in a regime where the AIs are extremely situationally aware, very very very very capable and um you know uh we don't necessarily understand what they're doing, this feedback loop breaks down.
