Who makes the rules for AI? Right now, a handful of companies and governments are shaping its trajectory – but what happens behind closed doors? Helen Toner, Director of Strategy at Georgetown's CSET and former OpenAI board member, has been inside some of the biggest AI governance conversations. In this conversation with Beatrice Erkers, she shares an insider's take on AI policy, US-China dynamics, and what's coming next in AI regulation.This interview is a guest lecture in our new online course about shaping positive futures with AI. The course is free, and available here: https://www.udemy.com/course/worldbuilding-hopeful-futures-with-ai/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Upstream, we're releasing an episode of The Cognitive Revolution. Nathan Labenz interviews Helen Toner, director at CSET, about her experiences with OpenAI, the concept of adaptation buffers for AI integration, and AI's role in military decision-making. They discuss the implications of AI development, the need for regulatory policies, and the geopolitical dynamics involving AI competition with China. —

Read the full transcript here. Is it useful to vote against a majority when you might lose political or social capital for doing so? What are the various perspectives on the US / China AI race? How close is the competition? How has AI been used in Ukraine? Should we work towards a global ban of autonomous weapons? And if so, how should we define "autonomous"? Is there any potential for the US and China to cooperate on AI? To what extent do government officials — especially senior policymakers — worry about AI? Which particular worries are on their minds? To what extent is the average person on the street worried about AI? What's going on with the semiconductor industry in Taiwan? How hard is it to get an AI model to "reason"? How could animal training be improved? Do most horses fear humans? How do we project ourselves onto the space around us?Helen Toner is the Director of Strategy and Foundational Research Grants at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET). She previously worked as a Senior Research Analyst at Open Philanthropy, where she advised policymakers and grantmakers on AI policy and strategy.

In China's 14th Five-Year Plan that spans from 2021 to 2025, priority was assigned to development of emerging technologies that could be both disruptive and foundational for the future. China is now a global leader in AI technology and is poised to overtake the West and become the world leader in AI in the years ahead. Importantly, there is growing evidence that AI-enabled military capabilities are becoming increasingly central to Chinese military concepts for fighting future wars.A recently released report provides insights on Chinese perspectives on military use of AI. Published by Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), the report illustrates some of the key challenges Chinese defense experts have identified in developing and fielding AI-related technologies and capabilities. Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by the author of this report, Sam Bresnick, who is a Research Fellow at Georgetown's CSET focusing on AI applications and Chinese technology policy.  TimestampsB[00:00] Start[01:33] Impetus for the Georgetown CSET Report[03:34] China's Assessment of the Impacts of AI and Emerging Technologies[06:32] Areas of Debate Among Chinese Scholars[09:39] Evidence of Progress in the Military Application of AI[12:13] Lack of Trust Amongst Chinese Experts in Existing Technologies[14:25] Constraints in the Development and Implementation of AI[18:20] Chinese Expert Recommendations for Mitigating AI Risk[23:01] Implications Taken from Discussions on AI Risk[25:14] US-China Areas of Discussion on the Military Use of AI[28:50] Unilateral Steps Toward Risk Mitigation

When New Hampshire voters picked up the phone earlier this year and heard what sounded like the voice of President Joe Biden asking them not to vote in that state's primary election, the stage was set for an unprecedented election year. The call was a deepfake — and the first major instance of artificial intelligence being used in the 2024 election. With the rise of AI tools that can credibly synthesize voices, images and videos, how are voters supposed to determine what they can trust as they prepare to cast their votes?To find out how lawmakers and civil society are pushing back against harmful false narratives and content, we talked with experts engaging the problem on several fronts. Stephen Richer, an elected Republican in Phoenix, posts on X (formerly Twitter) to engage misinformation head-on to protect Arizona voters. Adav Noti, the executive director of CLC, explains how good-governance advocates are hurrying to catch up with a profusion of new digital tools that make the age-old practices of misinformation and disinformation faster and cheaper than ever. And Mia Hoffman, a researcher who looks at the effects of AI on democracies, reminds voters not to panic — that bad information and malicious messaging don't always have the power to reach their audience, let alone sway people's opinions or actions.Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at CLC, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy.

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: Cancelling GPT subscription, published by adekcz on May 20, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. If you are sending money to OpenAI, what would make you stop? For me, there is no ambiguity anymore. The line has been crossed. Many publicly available signals are pointing towards OpenAI's lack of enthusiasm about AI safety while being quite enthusiastic about advancing AI capabilities as far as possible, even towards AGI. There have been several waves of people with AI safety views leaving OpenAI culminating in dissolution of superalignment team and it is hard to tell if OpenAI conducts any alignment research at all. I worry about the risk of advanced AI and no longer trust OpenAI to behave well when needed. Therefore I am cancelling my subscription and think others should as well. I have basically written this post a few days ago but was waiting for Zvi to provide his summary of events in Open exodus. Predictably, he just did and it is much better summary than I would be able to provide. In the end, he writes: My small update is cancelling GPT subscription and I think as many people as possible should do that. Paying for GPT and having my beliefs was, as of last week, debatable. Now, I think it is unjustifiable. It is very simple. Sending money to a company that is trying to achieve something I worry about is not a good idea. They don't even have any plausible deniability of caring about safety now. On the other hand, they are definitely still at the leading edge of AI development. I think AI risks are non-negligible and the plausible harm they can cause is tremendous (extinction or some s-risk scenario). Many people also believe that. But we arrive to really low probabilities when thinking about how much can an individual influence those large problems spanning large futures. We get very small probabilities but very large positive values. In this case, we have really small probability that our 20 bucks/month will lead to unsafe AGI. But it definitely helps OpenAI, even though marginally. By this logic, sending money to OpenAI might be by far the most horrific act many people, including many EAs, regularly commit. Normal people don't have assumptions that would make them care. But we have them, and we should act on them. Cancel your subscription and refrain from using the free version, as your data might be even more valuable to them than the subscription money. Please spread this sentiment. My summary of recent events For the sake of completeness, if Zvi hadn't published his post, I had written this, leaving it here in a slightly draft-ish state: All the people People who are leaving OpenAI seem to have quite similar feelings about AI safety as do I and they seem to be very competent. They are insiders, they have hands-on experience with the technology and OpenAI's inner workings. Dario Amodei and around 10 other OpenAI's employees left in 2021 to found Antrophic, because they felt they can do better AI safety work together (https://youtu.be/5GtVrk00eck?si=FQSCraQ8UOtyxePW&t=39). Then we had the infamous board drama that led to Sam Altman's stronger hold over OpenAI, and the most safety-minded people are there no more. Helen Toner of CSET, Tasha McCauley, former Effective Ventures board member, and Sutskever, who initially just left the board, now he has left OpenAI altogether. And finally, over the last few months, the remaining safety people have been pushed away, fired, or resigned https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2024/5/17/24158403/openai-resignations-ai-safety-ilya-sutskever-jan-leike-artificial-intelligence . Walk the walk Founding the superalignment team (https://openai.com/index/introducing-superalignment/) led by Sutskever and Leike and promising 20% of compute to them sounded great. It still seems like it would much more likely happen in a worlds, where O...

Cyber threats from China have been the subject of recent high-profile Congressional hearings lately. Analyst Jack Corrigan from Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) spoke to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Feb. 1 about the risks that Chinese information and communications technology and services (ICTS) have on U.S. national security and critical infrastructure. Corrigan joins CyberCast to break down these threats and what they mean for government agencies, what CIOs can do about them and the role of procurement regulations in strengthening those defenses.

The advent and speed of advancement in AI has far reaching consequences for multiple industries. This five-part miniseries will spotlight various industry sectors where AI has a significant and growing impact, with this particular episode centering on AI's role in healthcare.AI in healthcare offers life changing benefits as well as raising far reaching concerns. In the medical arena, various AI programmes like Large Language Models and Foundation Models are being used in many specialities, both in research and clinically. AI's ability to rapidly process vast amounts of data and identify subtle patterns affords unrivalled potential within medicine. It can also help save money by streamlining processes. But there are risks. As the technology advances so do concerns over inaccurate diagnoses that could exacerbate health inequalities that already exist in the system. Another area of particular focus is the transparency and trust of the AI models being built. This is where the importance of regulation comes in. We speak with Dr Alan Karthikesalingam, Senior Staff Clinician Scientist and Research Lead at Google who offers his insight into the research and clinical applications of AI in healthcare. Greg Sorensen, Lead at Aidence, shows how AI is being used in the clinical screening of lung cancer, a key prevention tool that is already saving lives. Inma Martinez, chair of the multi expert group at the global partnership on AI addresses the importance of regulation and governance of AI in healthcare and beyond.Our Sources for the show: FT Resources, CEPR, European Parliament research, CSET, BMJ, KCL.This content is paid for by Google and is produced in partnership with the Financial Times' Commercial Department.

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: AI Incident Sharing - Best practices from other fields and a comprehensive list of existing platforms, published by stepanlos on June 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Purpose of this post: The purpose of this post is three-fold: 1) highlight the importance of incident sharing and share best practices from adjacent fields to AI safety 2) collect tentative and existing ideas of implementing a widely used AI incident database and 3) serve as a comprehensive list of existing AI incident databases as of June 2023. Epistemic status: I have spent around 25+ hours researching this topic and this list is by no means meant to be exhaustive. It should give the reader an idea of relevant adjacent fields where incident databases are common practice and should highlight some of the more widely used AI incident databases which exist to date. Please feel encouraged to comment any relevant ideas or databases that I have missed, I will periodically update the list if I find anything new. Motivation for AI Incident Databases Sharing incidents, near misses and best practices in AI development decreases the likelihood of future malfunctions and large-scale risk. To mitigate risks from AI systems, it is vital to understand the causes and effects of their failures. Many AI governance organizations, including FLI and CSET, recommend creating a detailed database of AI incidents to enable information-sharing between developers, government and the public. Generally, information-sharing between different stakeholders 1) enables quicker identification of security issues and 2) boosts risk-mitigation by helping companies take appropriate actions against vulnerabilities. Best practices from other fields National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) publishes and maintains a database of aviation accidents, including detailed reports evaluating technological and environmental factors as well as potential human errors causing the incident. The reports include descriptions of the aircraft, how it was operated by the flight crew, environmental conditions, consequences of event, probable cause of accident, etc. The meticulous record-keeping and best-practices recommendations are one of the key factors behind the steady decline in yearly aviation accidents, making air travel one of the safest form of travel. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) maintains a comprehensive database recording the number of crashes and fatal injuries caused by automobile and motor vehicle traffic, detailing information about the incidents such as specific driver behavior, atmospheric conditions, light conditions or road-type. NHTSA also enforces safety standards for manufacturing and deploying vehicle parts and equipment. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) is a cross-sector public database recording specific vulnerabilities and exposures in information-security systems, maintained by Mitre Corporation. If a vulnerability is reported, it is examined by a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) and entered into the database with a description and the identification of the information-security system and all its versions that it applies to. Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISAC). ISACs are entities established by important stakeholders in critical infrastructure sectors which are responsible for collecting and sharing: 1) actionable information about physical and cyber threats 2) sharing best threat-mitigation practices. ISACs have 24/7 threat warning and incident reporting services, providing relevant and prompt information to actors in various sectors including automotive, chemical, gas utility or healthcare. National Council of Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (NCI) is a cross-sector forum designated for sharing and integrating information among sector-based ISACs (Information Sharing an...

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: Upcoming speaker series on emerging tech, national security & US policy careers, published by kuhanj on June 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There is an upcoming virtual speaker series on emerging tech, national security, and US policy careers and wanted to share this opportunity. I've heard some of these speakers before think the series could be really helpful for anyone interested in working on AI/bio policy in the US. I've pasted the announcement of the speaker series below. Summer webinar series on emerging technology & national security policy careers The Horizon Institute for Public Service, in collaboration with partners at the Scowcroft Center for International Affairs at the Texas A&M Bush School and SeedAI, is excited to announce an upcoming webinar series on US emerging technology policy careers to help individuals decide if they should pursue careers in this field. In line with Horizon's and our partners' focus areas, the series will focus primarily on policy opportunities related to AI and biosecurity and run from late June to early August. Sessions will not be recorded and individuals must sign up to receive event access — you can express interest in attending here. Horizon's mission is to help the US government navigate our era of rapid technological change by fostering the next generation of public servants with emerging technology expertise. The policy opportunities and challenges related to emerging technology are interdisciplinary and will require talent from a range of backgrounds and communities, including many that don't have ready access to information about what policy work is like and what a career transition might look like. As a result, this series will cover: Examples of individuals with non-traditional (e.g. technical or legal) backgrounds transitioning into emerging technology policy Examples of what a “day in a life” is like at a think tank, advocacy organization, executive agency, or in Congress Examples of ongoing policy efforts and debates related to AI or biosecurity policy All sessions will involve interactive conversations with experienced policy practitioners and opportunities for audience questions. Some of the sessions will be useful for individuals from all fields and career stages, while others are more focused — you may choose to attend all or only some of the sessions. Currently scheduled sessions include: Q&A with Jason Matheny, CEO of the RAND Corporation Q&A with Nikki Teran, Institute for Progress Fellow, on biosecurity challenges and policy careers to address them Q&A with Helen Toner‚ Director of Strategy and Foundational Research Grants at CSET, on AI challenges and policy careers to address them What's it like working in the executive branch? What's it like working in a think tank? What's it like working in Congress? Choosing graduate schools for policy careers (master's, PhD, JD) Transitioning from law to policy Transitioning from science and tech to policy Advancing in policy from underrepresented backgrounds Horizon Fellowship info session Thanks for listening.

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: Reminder (Sept 15th deadline): Apply for the Open Philanthropy Technology Policy Fellowship, published by JoanGass on September 9, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The deadline for the Open Philanthropy Technology Policy Fellowship (OPTPF) is September 15th. If you are interested in working in US policy on topics such as AI and biosecurity, we strongly encourage you to consider applying! The first cohort of 15 OPTPF fellows received 10 weeks of policy training sessions together, and 100% of them matched with a host organization. They have now started placements in the executive branch (in the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security), congressional offices, and think tanks (CSET, NTI, CHS, CSIS, Brookings, CDT, and CEIP). To learn more about the program, you can check out the fellowship page, this past Forum post, and the fellowship FAQ. Thanks for listening.

Andy and Dave discuss the latest in AI and autonomy news and research, including an announcement that the Federal Trade Commission is exploring rules for cracking down on harmful commercial surveillance and lax data security, with the public having an opportunity to share input during a virtual public form on 8 September 2022. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), with help from Caroline Kraczon, releases The State of State AI Policy, a catalog of AI-related bills that states and local governments have passed, introduced or failed during the 2021-2022 legislative season. In robotics, Xiaomi introduces CyberOne, a 5-foot 9-inch robot that can identify “85 types of environmental sounds and 45 classifications of human emotions.” Meanwhile at a recent Russian arms fair, Army-2022, a developer showed off a robot dog with a rocket-propelled grenade strapped to its back. NIST updates its AI Risk Management Framework to the second draft, making it available for review and comment. DARPA launches the SocialCyber project, a hybrid-AI project aimed at helping to protect the integrity of open-source code. BigScience launches BLOOM (BigScience Large Open-science Open-access Multilingual Language Model), a “bigger than GPT-3” multilanguage (46) model that a group of over 1,000 AI researchers has created, that anyone can download and tinker with it for free. Researchers at MIT develop artificial synapses that shuttle protons, resulting in synapses 10,000 times faster than biological ones. China's Comprehensive National Science Center claims that it has developed “mind-reading AI” capable of measuring loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party. Researchers at the University of Sydney demonstrate that human brains are better at identifying deepfakes than people, by examining results directly from neural activity. Researchers at the University of Glasgow combine AI with human vision to see around corners, reconstructing 16x16-pixel images of simple objects that the observer could not directly see. GoogleAI publishes research on Minerva, using language models to solve quantitative reasoning problems, and dramatically increasing the SotA. Researchers from MIT, Columbia, Harvard, and Waterloo publish work on a neural network that solves, explains, and generates university math problems “at a human level.” CSET makes available the Country Activity Tracker for AI, an interactive tool on tech competitiveness and collaboration. And a group of researchers at Merced's Cognitive and Information Sciences Program make available Neural Networks in Cognitive Science. https://www.cna.org/our-media/podcasts/ai-with-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: War Between the US and China: A case study for epistemic challenges around China-related catastrophic risk, published by Jordan Schneider on August 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR China has a critical role to play in addressing the 21st century's most pressing catastrophic risks. In particular, the risk of a US-China war in the coming decades is real (Metaculus gives 50/50 odds of a conflict with >100 deaths by 2050, and there's perhaps a 15% chance of a war of the scale we're considering for this post). A conventional conflict could cost over 2 billion life years in the combatant countries even before taking into account nuclear escalation. Even less horrific wartime scenarios would reduce global GDP by double digits and plunge perhaps 5% of the world's population back into extreme poverty. Analysis of modern China is very neglected relative to its scale. Only ~600 people in the United States conduct research on anything PRC-related for a living outside the US government. The US Intelligence Community does not have it covered, and a vanishing percentage of the 600 are oriented towards reducing catastrophic risk. Even more concerning is that the flow of researchers into the space has not increased even as US-China tensions have heightened (in fact, the early career talent pipeline is broken). Thankfully, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit! Funding Ideas include Money to increase the pool of early career jobs, including direct funding for early career positions at think tanks A survey that explores the state of research and talent challenges, culminating in a roadmap to improve the quality of US policy debate around China more oriented around catastrophic risks. Epistemic tools like a giant centralized repository of Chinese government documents and translation algorithms tuned for government documents Philanthropically-funded research organizations built off CSET's model that could inspire Congress to fund more impactful analysis Along with reducing the chances of a US-China war, an improved understanding of the PRC could prove invaluable for working on other catastrophic risks like AI safety and biosecurity. A Word from the Authors Jordan Schneider: I was the lead author of this report. For the past five years, I've run the ChinaTalk podcast and newsletter. I've interviewed more than 250 China-focused journalists, academics, and policymakers based outside of the PRC in recorded conversations for podcast episodes, and 150 more casual conversations. I have also worked for six years in the think tank field on China-focused work, spent two years in grad school in Beijing, and another two years in a macro-focused role at a hedge fund with significant investments in China. I have also interacted over a hundred students who have reached out to me for career advice. The claims that follow build off those conversations, my work experience, and countless hours reading China-focused academic literature as well as think tank and government reports. I have scoped this paper to focus specifically on great power war in the next fifty years as it's the topic where I have the deepest expertise. However, practically every major shortermist and longtermist risk area (biorisk, global economic growth prospects, space governance, geoengineering, AI safety) is intimately tied to China, plagued by the same analytical deficiencies in the English-speaking world, and could be served by interventions analogous to the ones proposed below. Pradyumna Prasad: I was the supporting author. I run the Bretton Goods blog and podcast, helped write the sections on estimating the mortality and economic costs of a US China war, and graduated high school last year. Summary What's the problem? In 1948, two years after Churchill made his Iron Curtain speech, the CIA had 12 Russian speakers on s...

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: Some concerns about policy work funding and the Long Term Future Fund, published by weeatquince on August 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Situation As far as I can tell The Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) wants to fund work that will influence public policy. They say they are looking to fund “policy analysis, advocacy ...” work and post in policy Facebook groups asking for applications. However, as far as I can tell, in practice, the LTFF appears to never (or only very rarely) fund such projects that apply for funding. Especially new projects.My view that such funding is rare is based on the following pieces of evidence: Very few policy grants have been made. Looking at the payout reports of the LTFF, they funded a grant for policy influencing work in 2019 (to me, for a project that was not a new project). Upon asking them they say they have funded at least one more policy grant that has not been written up. Very many policy people have applied for LTFF grants. Without actively looking for it I know of: someone in an established think tank looking for funds for EA work, 3 groups wanting to start EA think tank type projects, a group wanting to do mass campaigning work. All these groups looked competent and were rejected. I am sure many others apply too. I know one of these has gone on to get funding elsewhere (FTX). Comments from staff at leading EA orgs. In January last year, a senior staff member at a leading EA institution mentioned, to my surprise, that EA funders tend not to fund any new longtermist policy projects (except perhaps with very senior trusted people like OpenPhil funding CSET). Recently I spoke to someone at CEA about this and asked if it matched their views too and they said they do think there is a problem here. Note this was about EA funders in general, not specifically the LTFF. Comments from EA policy folk looking for funding. There seems to be (at least there was in 2021) a general view from EAs working in the policy space that it has been very hard to find funding for policy work. Note this is about EA funders in general, not the LTFF. Odd lines of questioning. When I applied, the line of questioning was very odd. I faced an hour of: Why should we do any policy stuff? Isn't all policy work a waste of time? Didn't [random unconnected policy thing] not work? Etc. Of course it can be useful to check applicants have a good understanding of what they are doing, but it made me question whether they wanted to fund policy work at all. Odd feedback. Multiple applicants to the LTFF have reported receiving feedback along the lines of: We see high downside risks but cannot clarify what those risks are. Or: We want to fund you but an anonymous person vetoed you and we cannot say who or why. Or: Start-up policy projects are too risky. Or: We worry you might be successful and hard to shut down if we decided we don't like you in future. This makes me worry that the fund managers do not think through the risks and reasons for funding or not funding policy work in as much depth as I would like, and that they maybe do not fund any new/start-up policy projects. Acknowledgment that they do apply a higher bar for policy work. Staff at the LTFF have told me that they apply a higher bar for policy work than for other grants. Of course, this is all circumstantial, and not necessarily a criticism of the LTFF. The fund managers might argue they never get any policy projects worth funding and that all the promising projects I happened to hear of were actually net negative and it was good not to fund them. It is also possible that things have improved in the last year (the notes that make up this post have been sitting in an email chain for a long while now). Relevance and recommendation That said I thought it was worth me writing this up publicly as the possibilit...

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: EA Probably Shouldn't Try to Exercise Direct Political Power, published by iamasockpuppet on July 21, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last May, EA-aligned donors helped to make Carrick Flynn's campaign in OR-06 one of the best funded primary campaigns in US electoral history. Flynn, a researcher at FHI and CSET, lost the primary, receiving about half as many votes as the winner despite support from the EA community. This prompted several further analyses on the EA forum: Some potential lessons from Carrick's Congressional bid Early spending research and Carrick Flynn Yglesias on EA and politics Virtually all of the initial analysis has focused on ways that EA can better win future political races. I believe that it would be harmful to try; that EA as a movement attempting to hold direct political power as elected officials would be somewhere between neutral and harmful; and that seeking to influence existing non-EA elected officials would be more effective. The arguments on the EA Forum in favor of Flynn's election were wrong > even with a small chance of success ( The Biden administration released a fantastic $65 billion plan that aims to prevent future pandemics. Congress has funded practically none of it. Part of the problem is that nobody in congress has made pandemic preparedness a ‘core issue.' Congressional members don't oppose the president's plan, and there are some standout champions, but none of them are trying to get it passed with the desperation that I think the issue warrants. > My sense is if Carrick had won, he could have done a lot of good – in particular, advancing pandemic prevention (e.g., via participating in bill markups), with an outside chance of getting Biden's pandemic prevention plan enacted. These comments are incorrect; Carrick Flynn's election would likely not have had much influence on advancing the pandemic prevention plan. 538 currently forecasts an 87% chance that Republicans control the House after the 2022 elections; this would likely leave Flynn more-or-less irrelevant for the next two years. The Democrats currently hold the House, yet have not passed their own President's pandemic plan. Nobody, in any of the comments above or elsewhere, seems to have any idea why; as a result, the arguments above are remarkably vague. The absence of domain knowledge from this conversation is really bad! (I don't claim to be an expert on politics, to be clear; it is entirely possible that the explanations I offer below are wrong. But EA extensively discussed the Flynn campaign and moved significant amounts of money, seemingly without a very basic public analysis of the facts on the ground.) Each fiscal year's federal budget is (supposedly) written and passed by April 15 of that year. There is extensive advanced planning for the budget. For FY 2022, the White House released its budget request April 9th, 2021, too soon for the White House pandemic plan, released September 2021, to be included. The recently released FY 2023 budget request does include funding for the pandemic plan. Carrick Flynn would be unlikely to have much influence over the FY 2023 budget, since he wouldn't even be in the House until most of the way through the negotiations, even assuming that he won the primary, won the general, and the GOP didn't hold the House. (New representatives take office January 3rd; the House passed its FY 2022 budget March 9th of last year.) The most likely way for the budget to exclude the pandemic plan if the Democrats hold ...

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: What Is Most Important For Your Productivity?, published by lynettebye on June 13, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Peek behind the Curtain interview series includes interviews with eleven people I thought were particularly successful, relatable, or productive. We cover topics ranging from productivity to career exploration to self-care. This third post covers “What is most important for your productivity?” You can find bios of my guests at the end of this post, and view other posts in the series here. This post is cross posted on my blog. What are the most important things you do for your productivity? Keep checking in with your high-level goal I think it really comes back down to writing down and rewriting down and thinking about the high-level goal of the project. Having something that's an easy handle, that's like a sentence or two, and just checking in with myself a lot about where I'm at with respect to the high-level goals. Writing something every month about like, "I did this last month and what was the goal? Have I moved toward the goal or not?" Ajeya Cotra Start by breaking the task down One thing that's really helpful for me is just small-scale planning. When I'm starting a task, write down a list of the things that I would probably want to do. Just having that be clear helps a lot. Daniel Ziegler Checklists I have a checklist and every day when I sign off, I will write every single one of my projects and email them to my boss letting them know status on all the projects. When I was in college, I lived on a checklist. Every day I had the checklist that needed to be completed that day. It makes it so that I don't drop the ball. Abi Olvera Decrease anxiety Decreasing anxiety over things. Because I feel like there's this vicious cycle a lot of people get sucked up in, where if you're really anxious about something, you're focused on the anxiety and assuaging the anxiety rather than on the work that you need to do. Eva Vivalt Internalize that procrastinating only makes aversive tasks worse I think I've gotten better over time at doing what needs to be done that's not easy or particularly enjoyable, and finding out again and again that it's all better if I tackle it head-on rather than trying to put it off for as long as humanly possible. Similar to being a recovering introvert who always thought going to a party was a terrible thing to do yet always, every time I went, both enjoying it and then on reflection going, "Wow. I definitely make the right call there." Regretting it when I decide not to do so. I guess over time I've learned that the sense of aversion usually fades after I actually start doing the aversive task. It's not fun, but it's okay. A sense of relief after you've done it and gotten it off your plate. It seems like worth doing rather than maybe like spending a week or two weeks or two months going, "Oh man, I need to do this. It's even worse since I haven't done it for this long." Getting stuck in that sort of cycle. Greg Lewis Financial penalties for work within your control I use Beeminder. I had to put in the initials of the person that I emailed, and it kind of just, "Why don't I aim for five emails a week?" I was trying to hit more than five. It was only counting on what I could control, which was emailing. It doesn't matter if they don't respond, the fact is I emailed. I do it as well to cap my Facebook time. I do it as well to keep my unread inbox below 75. Abi Olvera Track if your week actually moved something forward It's like, "Was there something that I was able to take the time for this week, and that moved forward significantly somehow," which can look like lots of different things. It could be strategic planning for CSET or it could be working on a specific research project and having time to write or other things like tha...

CSET | La répression des islamistes du mouvement Furkan provoque de l'embarras dans l'AKP.

#Russia's invasion of #Ukraine is now in its third week, but it only took a few days of fighting for the world to see that Vladimir Putin's evident hope for rapid and generally bloodless victory had been shattered. Putin expected his soldiers to walk into Ukrainian cities and be welcomed with open arms. Instead, the Russian army is stalled along several fronts by stiff Ukrainian resistance, and many of the cities that were likely objectives for the first days of the war remain unconquered. But taking those cities remains a key goal for Putin, and the world is now watching as urban warfare takes center stage in this conflict. Cities like Mariupol and Kherson are either encircled or already at least partially occupied; others, like Kyiv and Kharkiv, are being battered in preparation for attempts to seize them; and those like Odesa are wondering how long it will be before Russian ground forces reach their outskirts. To talk us through the unique and bitter challenges of urban warfare, as well as Russia's approach to it, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Rita Konaev. Dr. Konaev is a Research Fellow at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) interested in military applications of AI and Russian military innovation. Previously, she was a Non-Resident Fellow with the Modern War Institute at West Point, a post-doctoral fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Perry World House. Before joining CSET, she worked as a Senior Principal in the Marketing and Communications practice at Gartner. Margarita's research on international security, armed conflict, non-state actors and urban warfare in the Middle East, Russia and Eurasia has been published by the Journal of Strategic Studies, the Journal of Global Security Studies, Conflict Management and Peace Science, the French Institute of International Relations, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Lawfare, War on the Rocks, Defense One, Modern War Institute, Foreign Policy Research Institute and a range of other outlets. She holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame, an M.A. in Conflict Resolution from Georgetown University and a B.A. from Brandeis University.

Dans cette semaine en Turquie nous avons parlé de la clarification progressive de la position turque vis-à-vis de la guerre en Ukraine. Au début de l'agression, Ankara s'était abstenu de voter la suspension de la Russie du Conseil de l'Europe tout en condamnant le régime de Poutine. Ankara n'applique toujours pas de restriction de son espace aérien à la Russie mais livre des drones TB2 à l'Ukraine. Nous en avons parlé avec l'ex diplomate Sinan Ülgen. Puis nous nous sommes penchés sur l'inflation avant de revenir sur la proposition d'une partie de l'opposition : le retour à un Système Parlementaire « Renforcé ».

Dans cette Semaine en Turquie nous avons abordé la position de la Turquie qui entretient des relations avec les deux pays belligérants. Aydın Selcen, ex diplomate a répondu à nos questions. Nous avons aussi vu l'importance symbolique de la date du 28 février qui a été choisie par l'opposition en général et par le CHP en particulier pour dévoiler leur projet du « système parlementaire renforcé ». Nous nous sommes aussi penché sur la grève victorieuses des ouvriers de Migros.

Dans Cette semaine en Turquie nous avons parlé de la tentative de l'opposition d'unir ses forces en excluant le HDP afin de revenir au système parlementaire « renforcé ». Ruşen Çakır a analysé l'instrumentalisation du pouvoir des tensions qu'il pouvait y avoir entre le HDP et le IYI parti. Puis nous nous sommes intéressés à la nouvelle chanson de Tarkan « Geççek », interprétée comme un hymne de l'opposition. Nous avons aussi vu la changement de statut des lieux de culte Alevis, qui passent de « commerce » à « résidence », pour conclure sur la récente visite d'Erdoğan aux Emirats Arabes Unis.

Dans Cette Semaine en Turquie nous avons parlé des factures d'électricité qui ont augmenté de manière spectaculaire et des protestations que cela a engendré, de la paralysie de la vie à Isparta pendant 4 jours, de l'analyse de Ruşen Çakır sur cette séquence, et de l'assassinat de Halil Falyali en Chypre du Nord. Nous avons aussi évoqué la maladie de Recep Tayyip Erdogan et de ses répercussions judiciaires.

CSET - Querelles de pouvoir au sommet de l'Etat : le Ministre de la Justice démissionne

ans Cette semaine en Turquie nous avons parlé de : -Les dysfonctionnements dus a la tempète de neige à istanbul, où le maire s'est retrouvé au coeur d'une campagne de dénigrement -La formidable reculade d'Erdoğan face à Sezen Aksu -l'analyse de Ruşen Çakır sur le pas en arrière d'Erdoğan -L'incarcération de Sedef Kabaş pour "insulte au président" -La dernière vidéo de Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu

Dans Cette semaine en Turquie nous avons parlé de: – La campagne de lynchage qui a visé Sezen Aksu -La tentative de changer le nom de la Turquie en Türkiye -La commémoration de Hrant Dink -Le maintien en détention d'Osman Kavala -La décision de garder le taux directeur
