Timnit Gebru (she/her)."Three days after the article was published, someone asked Yudkowsky on social media: “How many people are allowed to die to prevent AGI?” His response was: “There should be enough survivors on Earth in close contact to form a viable reproductive population, with room to spare, and they should have a sustainable food supply. So long as that’s true, there’s still a chance of reaching the stars someday.”"
Remember that these are the bozos policy makers are talking to.

Leon Derczynski 🏔️✍🏻🌲☀️Recently I set up https://llmsecurity.net to track all the huge mass of research on LLM security. There's a definition there too, if you're in NLP, security, or just curious and don't know much about this area. It's only about a year old, full of serious folks, and a lot of fun!
David ZipperNorway has one of the lowest crash death rates in the world, with fatalities dropping ~50% in the last decade. I asked a senior Norwegian transportation official what role car technology has played enhancing safety.
“None,” she replied. “We focus on road design and enforcement."

SIGGENIt's not too late to join #SIGDIALxINLG2023 in Prague next month! Early registration is over, but regular registration is open.
If you can't make it in person but want to catch the latest research in #Dialogue & #Discourse or #NaturalLanguageGeneration, you'll be glad to know that virtual attendance is free.
Looking forward to seeing you all there, online or in person :)
Erlend Sogge HeggenSeveral years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247
The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git
First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.
Smart move by #GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.
