@ShaunMorash Your heads going to explode when you find out that the home of the Arizona Cardinals OF THE NFL MAN NOISES AMERICA FOOTBALL WINGS AND BEER is sold out right now for a soccer game v Mexico AND ITS NOT EVEN THE WORLD CUP
@TConlonthecouch Sadlier has asked questions about the FAI and how they’ve looked after the players through this debacle. That’s to be expected from an ex-pro and a current psychotherapist.
⚽ Eamon Dunphy defends Ireland’s protests vs Israel:
🇮🇱🇷🇺 “Israel and Russia are special cases; they are guilty of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
🇮🇪🫂 “As an Irish man, I thought they conducted themselves very well.”

QPR defender Jimmy Dunne has been registered as a goalkeeper in the Ireland squad for tonight’s game with Israel after the withdrawal of Gavin Bazunu. Rules dictate you need three registered keepers in the squad.
Big read here on an abject, rancorous, extraordinary day. The potential scale of fallout to come is the stuff of Saipan 2.0
Ireland v Israel: Day of Infamy exposes serious lack of leadership in FAI

Hard not to feel a bit ill after that press conference. The bizarre line of questioning from Israeli journalists, allowing them to control the narrative. One player gone home after voicing concerns. Black armbands to mark all lives lost in the ‘conflict’…
I'm told 7 players in total said today they didn't want to play and there's a split of opinion on FAI board now as well. Relations between board and Heimir Hallgrímsson seriously strained.
On Saturday, 19 September at 12:30hrs, @MillwallFC face @WestHam at the Den – the first time the two clubs have met since 2012. We want fans to enjoy the match safely and have worked with both clubs to help this happen.

Jacob’s thread is very worth reading. Here’s my birds-eye view of the situation with risks from AI:
1. AI developers believe their technology could cause human extinction (or similarly bad outcomes). This could happen in the next few years. In general, the more senior the employee, the more concerned they are.
2. Why do AI developers continue despite the risk? Due to a mixture of commercial incentives and a belief that they are in a race with other, less responsible AI developers that will abuse the technology or develop it less safely.
3. Unlike traditional software, we can’t “program” AIs to behave how we’d like. AIs frequently severely misbehave. For instance, AIs from multiple developers recently hacked their way out of secure evaluation environments and into real-world companies, even though no one asked them to do this.
4. We have methods that can nudge AIs towards better behavior, but nothing that can robustly align them. Insofar as there is a plan, it’s to make sure that AIs are good enough at alignment training that they can align their successors better than we can align current AIs.
5. Many AI developer staff desperately want to slow down to figure out how to build AI more safely. That was the intent of this open letter (which I signed): https://t.co/TZOm3LfptY
I work on safety research at Anthropic because I hope my work will reduce the chance of these extinction-level bad outcomes.
