Podcast appearances and mentions of Chad Jones

This week, we are pleased to welcome citizen-investigator extrodinaire, Chad Jones. Chad has been working with Paul from the beginning, digging through forensics reports, interviewing witnesses, and whatever else is needed to get to the truth of what happened during the NS mass shootings. He joins Adam and Paul to discuss the death of Cst. Heidi Stevenson at the hands of Gabriel Wortman, and how the RCMP has tried to re-frame those events to suit their own ends.Before welcoming Chad, Paul and Adam discuss the newly released Comprehensive Policing Review 2025, the report that is intended to guide police reform in Nova Scotia. Despite the recommendations of the MCC that were highly critical of the RCMP, the Deloitte report recommends that the RCMP become the default NS Provincial Police. The report reads as though it was written in 2019, not even alluding to any controversy associated with the RCMP's policing of our province.

Artificial intelligence continues to make major moves in development. Google's new Veo 3 can generate ultra-realistic videos and audio from just a short text prompt. Chad Jones, CEO of Push Interactions and former Apple engineer, joins Evan to break down what this means and how you can tell the difference between AI-generated content and the real thing.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Growth theory for EAs - reading list and summary, published by Karthik Tadepalli on September 12, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Economic growth is a unique field, because it is relevant to both the global development side of EA and the AI side of EA. Global development policy can be informed by models that offer helpful diagnostics into the drivers of growth, while growth models can also inform us about how AI progress will affect society. My friend asked me to create a growth theory reading list for an average EA who is interested in applying growth theory to EA concerns. This is my list. (It's shorter and more balanced between AI/GHD than this list) I hope it helps anyone who wants to dig into growth questions themselves. These papers require a fair amount of mathematical maturity. If you don't feel confident about your math, I encourage you to start with Jones 2016 to get a really strong grounding in the facts of growth, with some explanations in words for how growth economists think about fitting them into theories. Basics of growth These two papers cover the foundations of growth theory. They aren't strictly essential for understanding the other papers, but they're helpful and likely where you should start if you have no background in growth. Jones 2016 Sociologically, growth theory is all about finding facts that beg to be explained. For half a century, growth theory was almost singularly oriented around explaining the "Kaldor facts" of growth. These facts organize what theories are entertained, even though they cannot actually validate a theory - after all, a totally incorrect theory could arrive at the right answer by chance. In this way, growth theorists are engaged in detective work; they try to piece together the stories that make sense given the facts, making leaps when they have to. This places the facts of growth squarely in the center of theorizing, and Jones 2016 is the most comprehensive treatment of those facts, with accessible descriptions of how growth models try to represent those facts. You will notice that I recommend more than a few papers by Chad Jones in this list. That's because he is by far the best writer in the growth literature. His exposition of complex ideas and coverage of the big picture is just not matched by any other growth economist. Jones 2005 While Jones 2016 focuses on the facts of growth, Jones 2005 is an overview of the most common kind of long-run growth model - the idea-based model. Historically, economists used models like the Solow model, in which growth came from accumulating capital. But capital-based models are basically incapable of predicting sustained long-run growth. The now-canonical Romer model made a breakthrough by refocusing growth on ideas. Unlike machines, ideas are infinitely reusable. So if growth comes from creating new ideas, and ideas don't get used up, we can generate sustained long-run growth. This is another demonstration of the aesthetic of growth theory: theories are celebrated if they can match facts that economists think are important. The idea-based growth model is way too canonical to leave off this list. But I personally think it is overrated by EAs and not necessarily applicable to the issues we care about (AI or global development). I include it because working through it will help you understand the mechanics of growth models more generally, including the more complicated ones covered below. Growth theory for AI progress The growth theory that focuses on AI progress builds off the canonical growth work listed above, but with important advances from it. Few papers really apply their framework directly to AI, so it's important to try and extrapolate what the model implies about AI. The three papers below are the ones whose frameworks I think are most applicable to thinking about AI ...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 'The AI Dilemma: Growth vs Existential Risk': An Extension for EAs and a Summary for Non-economists, published by TomHoulden on April 22, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In this post I first summarize a recent paper by Chad Jones focused on the decision to deploy AI that has the potential to increase both economic growth and existential risk (section 1). Jones offers some simple insights which I think could be interesting for effective altruists and may be influential for how policy-makers think about trade-offs related to existential risk. I then consider some extensions which make the problem more realistic, but more complicated (section 2). These extensions include the possibility of pausing deployment of advanced AI to work on AI safety, as well allowing for the possibility of economic growth outside of deployment of AI (I show this weakens the case for accepting high levels of risk from AI). At times, I have slightly adjusted notation used by Jones where I thought it would be helpful to further simplify some of the key points.[1] I. Summary AI may boost economic growth to a degree never seen before. Davidson (2021), for example, suggests a tentative 30% probability in greater than 30% growth lasting at least ten years before 2100. As many in the effective altruism community are acutely aware, advanced AI may also pose risks, perhaps even a risk of human extinction. The decision problem that Jones introduces is: given the potential for unusually high economic growth from AI, how much existential risk should we be willing to tolerate to deploy this AI? In his simple framework, Jones demonstrates that this tolerance is mainly determined by three factors: the growth benefits that AI may bring, the threat that AI poses, and the parameter that underlies how utility is influenced by consumption levels. Here, I will talk in the language of a 'social planner' who applies some discount to future welfare; a discount rate in the range of 2%-4% seems to be roughly in line with that rate applied in the US and UK,[2] though longtermists may generally choose to calibrate with a lower discount rate (eg.

Success at this level hinges on idiosyncratic characteristics of the potential entrepreneur such as talent, inventiveness, and the propensity to take risks, on social origins, parental education, and family influence more generally, and on the environment: in particular the extent to which society favors risk-taking by forgiving early failure while rewarding talent and long-term success.The semantics of talent have spread at an accelerated rate in the world of work and in human resources management since the end of the 1990s. Today, we no longer talk about personnel management or "human resources" so much as talent management. The concept has been diluted as it has spread across the entire professional skills space, but its core meaning has never been stable.What exactly are we talking about when we speak of talent? The question is ceaselessly asked in all the scientific and professional publications devoted to talent management. It has been both a persistent enigma and a resource for plasticity in redefining the qualities required to recruit staff, to manage their careers and to find a balance in the competition for the best talent, since poaching by a competitor threatens each employer's investment in recruitment and career development. It is too often forgotten that the notion of talent, which was originally coined metaphorically in the "parable of the talents" in Matthew's gospel, can be read as a praise of risk-taking, which is rewarded, and a criticism of risk-aversion, which is discredited.This conference will gather economists and sociologists working on talent, risk, entrepreneurship, and innovation, with the goal of improving our understanding of the underpinnings of innovative entrepreneurship and of how entrepreneurship can be favored by appropriate institutions and policies.Isaiah Berlin once suggested a division of the world between hedgehogs and foxes, where foxes are individuals that engage in multiple projects simultaneously to pool risks, whereas hedgehogs put all their eggs into one basket and are ready to take maximum risk. One view of entrepreneurship is as hedgehogs who pursue a single innovation project, no matter how risky this project might be. This conference will analyze how social norms, the education system, competition, tax incentives and talent reward, and the financial system affect individuals' choice to be hedgehogs rather than foxes and selects the best talents into becoming innovative entrepreneurs.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Chad Jones paper modeling AI and x-risk vs. growth, published by jasoncrawford on April 26, 2023 on LessWrong. Looks like this was just posted today. Abstract: Advances in artificial intelligence (A.I.) are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they may increase economic growth as A.I. augments our ability to innovate or even itself learns to discover new ideas. On the other hand, many experts note that these advances entail existential risk: creating a superintelligent entity misaligned with human values could lead to catastrophic outcomes, including human extinction. This paper considers the optimal use of A.I. technology in the presence of these opportunities and risks. Under what conditions should we continue the rapid progress of A.I. and under what conditions should we stop? And here's how the intro summarizes the findings: 1. The curvature of utility is very important. With log utility, the models are remarkably unconcerned with existential risk, suggesting that large consumption gains that A.I. might deliver can be worth gambles that involve a 1-in-3 chance of extinction. 2. For CRRA utility with a risk aversion coefficient (γ) of 2 or more, the picture changes sharply. These utility functions are bounded, and the marginal utility of consumption falls rapidly. Models with this feature are quite conservative in trading off consumption gains versus existential risk. 3. These findings even extend to singularity scenarios. If utility is bounded — as it is in the standard utility functions we use frequently in a variety of applications in economics — then even infinite consumption generates relatively small gains. The models with bounded utility remain conservative even when a singularity delivers infinite consumption. 4. A key exception to this conservative view of existential risk emerges if the rapid innovation associated with A.I. leads to new technologies that extend life expectancy and reduce mortality. These gains are “in the same units” as existential risk and do not run into the sharply declining marginal utility of consumption. Even with the bounded utility that comes with high values of risk aversion, substantial declines in mortality rates from A.I. can make large existential risks bearable. I'm still reading the paper; might comment on it more later. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.
