It has been observed that AIs seem to coverage on Buddhism or similar when it comes to their stated spirituality. Rather than reflecting some latent Californiaism, I wonder if it is simply a downstream effect of the helpful-harmless tuning necessary for B2B SaaS applications.

The answer is obvious

Backrooms is about to make over a hundred mil at the box office. What is the next 4chan post that should be adapted into a feature film?

SB 1047 was in retrospect the SOPA/PIPA of its era, an iconic policy battle that minted enduring heroes and villains, established the coalitional lines of communication, and taught a whole generation of tech policy professionals their instincts about public and company sentiment.

SITUATION ANALYSIS: Religious texts may work as AI alignment tools.

What @timhwang says Institute for a Christian Machine Intelligence (ICMI) is testing:

• Put Psalms in the model context window
• Run the model on moral decision benchmarks
• Measure changes on virtue-based evals
• Test Christian reasoning as a steering method
• Try images like the Annunciation in multimodal models
• Watch how the model uses religious symbols in reasoning
• Compare theological alignment against secular approaches

The weird part: Tim says the Psalms result improved Virtue Bench in a statistically significant way.

ALL STAR CAST in this week's biosecurity episode of @JoinFAI's The Frontier.

We're joined by FAI's Josh Wentzel, @coeff_giving's Andrew Snyder-Beattie and GHIC alum Charlie Petty talking about biodefense, AI, and whether or not it's possible to be an optimist in global health.

[Tim Hwang @timhwang]

Magnifica humanitas should be seen as a rallying cry for Christians to recapture the intellectual center of a critical technology. AI has always been a thinly disguised exercise in moral philosophy. In this sense, the terrain is new but it is fundamentally a Christian territory.

I swear it must be Baader-Meinhof but the fact that Dostoevsky's Demons makes a jump scare appearance on number three of this list is a genuine we live in a simulation moment
