This is precisely the sort of interview which isn't supposed to exist anymore. And yet, here it is.

The full conversation is here. It's extraordinarily rich.

Fossil fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion in 2022. With global temperatures rising to unprecedented levels, subsidies should be scaled back to help slow climate change. More in our blog. https://t.co/QzvOaUOvyj

[IMF @IMFNews]

Key lessons from the IMF’s analysis of over 100 inflation shocks since the 1970s: fighting inflation is a long slog, premature celebrations are very common, and consistently tight macroeconomic policy is key.

We can’t solve the challenges the world faces unless we find the money - money that is not whim or gift or for profit, but is globally co-raised, co-planned & public. See 50 leaders’ inspiring essays on why it’s Time for Global Public Investment, here: https://t.co/6GmnEDbA6K

After decades of frustration, low-carbon technologies are taking off fast.

Here are four key charts/stories from the past few weeks that show real progress on climate action...

[Moritz Piatti @MoritzPiatti]

This chart is symptomatic of a fundamental problem in health financing. As long as we’re so focused on disease specific financing, we undermine countries’ ability to prepare for the challenges of today. @IHME_UW #climate #preparedness #PHC

This is far beyond the frame of ordinary red teaming—it's not just about protecting the system, individuals, or even groups, but protecting critical *public goods*.
Thankfully, @_lamaahmad (who is excellent) and others at @OpenAI *are* exploring this. https://t.co/VQhRRQQhV8

[Aviv Ovadya 🥦 @metaviv]

The problem is that such powerful AI systems cannot be viewed in isolation.
They will dramatically impact our interactions with critical societal infrastructure: schools, social media, markets, courts, healthcare, etc.,—and our mental health & epistemics.
