AI is advancing quickly. Society’s ability to manage its risks must advance just as fast.

Today we’re sharing our vision for AI Resilience, with more than $130M in initial grants underway across bio-resilience, cyber-resilience, AI model safety, and AI’s impact on young people: https://t.co/mXwqzIYAPm

@packyM It’s provably impossible with three distinct (going by the letter labels) shapes. The enantiomer solution from another reply is your best bet.

I bet you all can find the proof!

@MartinShkreli @gdb So that’s where my T-shirt went??

“it’s called ‘vibe coding.’ by the way, have you tried MCP?”

you jolt awake. you’ve fallen asleep over your laptop at the OpenAI Language Model Hackathon, February 12–13, 2020. the startup ecosystem doesn’t even know about GPT-3. it was all a dream

don't really care about winning a Nobel Prize
care about helping you do it ❤️

@utotranslucence @NinaPanickssery @cis_female Yeah, I think this gets it exactly — there’s different value to be had in having multiple kinds of spaces with varying degrees of inclusion, and the library has its pros and cons but it inhabits a specific niche in that spectrum, a Pareto frontier which is good to have some of

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

Fwiw, I mentioned a fee above sort of just as an intuition pump, because I do think I’d oppose one — maybe in my ideal world, the SF library could have a kind of suggested donation which is strongly encouraged but not strictly mandatory, because I still expect the biggest consumer surpluses of the library experience are enjoyed by children and/or high schoolers and/or underprivileged families all of whom would be tragically kept out by an actual enforced fee. However, real estate is so expensive here that I wouldn’t mind personally subsidizing it in the same way I do the coffeeshop by buying coffee. But then I’m already doing that by paying taxes! So I already don’t mind.

This has been entertaining to think about because I’m usually super libertarian-brained, but apparently not about libraries; I might just implicitly believe that the positive externalities of a good library are super super super high, especially for kids. I have zero interesting positive memories of cafes or hotel lobbies as a child, but TONS of extremely positive experiences and memories of Bay Area public libraries.

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

If the output (the library’s positive externalities to the public) is worth the resources that go into sustaining it, and that’s an empirical/uncertain question but I sort of believe it is, then what remains is only the question of who subsidizes whom; an empty hotel lobby is arguably also wasteful in a certain sense, going unused most of the time, but it’s on net supported by the purchases of the hotelgoers, and the hotel built it because it would provide net value to all who pass through. In the same way as a hotelgoer who ignores the lobby, I’m fine with my living in SF subsidizing the libraries.

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@Orwelian84 @davidad @deepfates @BenjaminDEKR Agreed

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@dmvaldman @mnovendstern I’m a fan of @robinhanson’s book Age of Em; I think it’s more applicable to the current trajectory than many people yet realize

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@gabriel1 omg ty I have been needing this exact rec (broke a tibia in HS, highly suspect I have a similar issue on one side)

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@utotranslucence @cis_female Society generally agree that public funding can and should be spent on the education of children and young adults, and libraries surely serve this function much more effectively per dollar (and in a more agency-respecting way!) than even the public schools do, and we fund those

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@utotranslucence @cis_female And come to think of it the third space feature of a public library is probably most highly prized by e.g. high schoolers, who can use it as a safe place to study or to work on group projects or what have you, and who have few if other resources or spaces available for that

@auyonomous @tenobrus @pangram Heaven forbid I be rewarded for this eyesore hahahaha (and without the guarantee of a moderated exam room!)

@auyonomous @tenobrus @pangram YESSSS

[Chelsea Sierra Voss @csvoss]

@auyonomous @tenobrus @pangram Got it — I’m grounding this in the latest test-taking environment. The most important part of the exam room is this: melodic music to set a quiet mood. If you want, we can make sure to stock tiny snacks for our studious writing gremlins. It’s not just an exam; it’s a composition.

@joannejang You gotta put it on a lock screen widget, Joanne!!!

it might be the most dogfooded software in recent history, other than maybe operating systems and browsers

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I want to fully optimize my waking moments and get as much done as I can. That’s why I have Codex projected above my bed at all times.

It’s the only way.

@theo Glad you’re enjoying the mobile integration! What would you like to see next in it?
