To this day, if you know the right people, the Silicon Valley gossip mill is a surprisingly reliable source of information if you want to anticipate the next beat in frontier AI – and that’s a problem. You can’t have your most critical national security technology built in labs that are almost certainly CCP-penetrated
for - high security risk - US AI labs
if we lose the Green and Ice Sheet, or the AMOC, it would be a complete disaster. So, you cannot measure it economically, it's an infinite parameter. So then, if the probability, even if the probability is low, if you multiply a low probability with an infinite impact, then risks are also infinitely high.
for - planetary emergency - risk analysis
planetary emergency - risk analysis - risk = probability x impact - If impact is high, then even low probability x high impact means high risk - If AMOC or Greenland icesheet melts, the impact is so high that it is not even economically measurable
this company's got not good for safety
for - AI - security - Open AI - examples of poor security - high risk for humanity
AI - security - Open AI - examples of poor security - high risk for humanity - ex-employees report very inadequate security protocols - employees have had screenshots capture while at cafes outside of Open AI offices - People like Jimmy Apple report future releases on twitter before Open AI does
here are so many loopholes in our current top AI Labs that we could literally have people who are infiltrating these companies and there's no way to even know what's going on because we don't have any true security 00:37:41 protocols and the problem is is that it's not being treated as seriously as it is
for - key insight - low security at top AI labs - high risk of information theft ending up in wrong hands

Natalie E. Dean, PhD. (2021, May 4). The imminent FDA authorization of a vaccine for 12-15 year olds is great news, and adolescents should be able to access vaccine. But in the short term, we must also grapple with the ethics of vaccinating adolescents ahead of high-risk adults in other countries.

Natalie E. Dean, PhD. (2021, May 4). Another framing for this tweet: Wow, the US will soon be able to expand vaccine access to 12-15 year olds. Meanwhile, there are countries where healthcare workers treating COVID patients can’t access vaccines. What more can the US government do to support the global community?

“Even if experts are saying it’s really not going to make a difference, a little [part of] people’s brains is thinking, well, it’s not going to hurt. Maybe it’ll cut my risk just a little bit, so it’s worth it to wear a mask,” she says.
