This report represents a crucial shift in how we as a society assess AI safety, moving to evidence-based scientific analysis. It was great to be part of the writing group with the role of making the scientific evidence more relevant to AI policymakers.
Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU.

In the past week, Americans reported a notable increase in those around them losing their jobs in a new @RIWIdata@DanielAlpert study. Consistent with today's higher-than-expected jobless claims. More next week as the data come in...
@mikalskuterud I'm not sure I can convince you it's good news, but it is a look in the rear-view mirror. Can we learn something about what high-frequency measures say? (I know there is Zillow and other alt measures in the US, but not sure about Canada)
