Underwriting Superintelligence

Insurance Unlocks Secure AI Progress We’re navigating a tightrope as Superintelligence nears. If the West slows down unilaterally, China could dominate the 21st century. If we accelerate recklessly, accidents will halt progress, as with nuclear power. Insurance, standards, and audits together create skin in the game for quantifying, communicating, and reducing AI risks so we can balance this tightrope. We call this the “Incentive Flywheel.” Benjamin Franklin first discovered the Incentive Fly

Walking every street in New York City

Today I walked my final blocks of Staten Island, the only borough I had left to complete. I was quite surprised to find the sign below waiting for me at the finish line, 4300 Amboy Road, which was the randomly selected point where I started the walk back on the last day of 2011. After spending 12+ years reading every dinky little plaque or marker I found across the city, I became genuinely emotional when I saw my own name on one of them. I'll need to finalize a number of recent walks

There are no new ideas in AI, only new datasets

Most people know that AI has made unbelievable progress over the last fifteen years– especially in the last five. It might feel like that progress is *inevitable* – although large paradigm-shift-level breakthroughs are uncommon, we march on anyway through a stream of slow & steady progress. In fact, some researchers have recently declared a “Moore’s Law for AI” where the computer’s ability to do certain things (in this case, certain types of coding tasks) increases exponentially with time: the

Here’s how the Play Store will soon make it easier to track download progress (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Play Store could soon receive a new download progress notification, allowing users to easily keep track of app downloads. We first spotted the notification in a teardown earlier this year, but Google has since made some improvements. The notification will list up to three recently downloaded apps and games, and let users open the apps right from the notification shade. The Google Play Store is set to receive a more helpful download progres
