🎙️NEW POD: FIXING BUGS IN DEMOCRACY
What if democracy worked more like open-source software?
@jessaroo speaks with @takahiroanno, an AI engineer and sci-fi writer who just won a seat in Japan's parliament. https://t.co/bTvN4Uoql4
AI is likely to reshape the economy in profound ways, creating both challenges to navigate and opportunities to improve people’s lives.
Today, the OpenAI Foundation is announcing an initial $250M commitment to building secure and abundant economic futures in the age of AI.
We’ll focus on measurement and forecasting, supporting communities navigating transition, and long-term economic security, including new approaches to ensuring AI’s value is shared broadly.

This #TaiwanModel🇹🇼-inspired approach to AI governance can help revitalise democracy, too!

I didn't say a lot when the book came out, because I was hoping the authors (@DKThomp and @ezraklein) would get there themselves, but I have to say how disappointed I am with how little this 2 hour long, year-after reflection shows they have learned: https://t.co/QjVjVtORLp

One person, one vote treats all preferences as equal. They aren't. A passionate minority that desperately wants X can be outvoted by a bored majority that barely cares. Social welfare falls. @EricPosner & @glenweyl ask: what if we let people vote their intensity?
AI is cause for consternation.⛅️
But it’s not all doom & gloom.☀️
Humans aren’t the #DataOil. We’re the Kami-supported superintelligence tilling the #DataSoil!🧑🌾
