GG: Sendingin er ein redigerað útgáva av upprunasendingini, ið varð send beinleiðis 01.09. Orsøkin til, at hon er redigerað, er fylgjandi: Sendingin viðgjørdi nýsetta tekniska leiðaran í FSF, og vertur og viðmerkjarar meta um hansara persón og persónligu eginleikar. Fjølmiðletisku leiðreglurnar avmarka slíka persónliga viðgerð. Mett varð eftirfylgjandi, at farið var út um mark, og tískil er tann parturin kliptur úr sendingini. Í sendingini varð ikki tosað við viðgjørda persónin ella leiðsluna fyri felagsskapin, har hann starvast. Sendingin livir sostatt ikki upp til kravið í fjølmiðlaetisku leiðreglunum og okkara journalistisku stevnu, sum áleggur okkum at hoyra allar partar.

Frederik Pohl (1918-2013) recorded at the Octocon Science Fiction Convention, October 15-16, 1978. Interviewers: Richard Wolinsky, Richard A. Lupoff and Lawrence Davidson, for KPFA's Probabilities radio program. Digitized, remastered and re-edited February, 2021 by Richard Wolinsky. Frederik Pohl, who died in 2013 at the age of 93 in September, 2013, did almost everything in the world of science fiction, as a writer, an agent, and a magazine and book editor. He grew up in Brooklyn, began writing at an early age, and in his twenties was a member of a leftist group of science fiction writers known as The Futurians, publishing for pennies a word in the sf pulps of the era. In 1937, in order to make money, he became an agent, and two years later a pulp magazine editor himself, often buying his own stories along with collaborations with various other writers, all under pseudonyms. In the late 1960s, he became editor of Galaxy Magazine, and its sister publication, Worlds of If, and in the 1970s became the science fiction editor at Bantam Books which he left shortly before this interview. In the mid 1970s, Fred Pohl  emerged as one of science fictions pre-eminent novelists with Man Plus in 1976 and Gateway in 1977. In 1978, on the heels of novelist Damon Knight's memoir, The Futurians, he came out with his own memoir, The Way the Future Was. And that was where his career stood when the three of us interviewed him. We were all still new at interviewing, particularly in placement of the microphone. Fred Pohl's success continued for many years after this interview. Jem, published in 1979, won the National Book Award the only year there was an award for science fiction. The sequel to Gateway, Beyond the Blue Event Horizon was a finalist for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1980. In all, there eventually were seven novels in the Gateway  (Heechee) series, and after 1979, all told, he wrote 17 more novels, the last being The Lives He Led, published in 2011, along with several collections, even more collaborations, and some non-fiction as well. At the time of his death at 93 in 2013, he was working on a second memoir, which has to date not been published. NOTES. Judy Lynn Del Rey was the sf editor at Ballantine Books starting in the early 1970s and soon had her own imprint, Del Rey Books (in collaboration with her husband, writer Lester Del Rey). Judith Merrill was a writer and anthologist, noted for her Year's Best SF Stories collections, which she edited from 1956 to 1968. John Michel was a key member of the Futurians who never fulfilled his promise. John W. Campbell was the editor of Astounding Stories, later Analog, from 1937 into the 1970s, and is credited with discovering such writers as Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. His influence on science fiction was all-encompassing, even as his politics were, as Isaac Asimov quipped, somewhere to the right of Hitler. Horace Gold was the first editor of Galaxy, before Fred Pohl. It was the magazine that brought literary style into science fiction. Other names mentioned are Anthony Boucher and F. Francis McComas, the first editors of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, F&SF. This podcast was first posted February 14, 2021.

Aké sú skutočné názory Slovákov na bezpečnosť, NATO a budúcnosť krajiny? Najnovší prieskum FSF a FOCUS odhalil, že väčšina Slovákov sa hlási k Západu, no zároveň odmieta niektoré dôsledky tohto rozhodnutia – napríklad investície do obrany alebo vojenskú pomoc Ukrajine.

Fórum Budúcnosti Slovenska realizuje - Michal Vašečka – sociológ, expert na spoločenské trendy a verejnú mienku, člen správnej rady Aspen Institute CE a riaditeľ Bratislava Policy Institute pod moderátorským vedením Juraja Petroviča.

​​In September 2019, Richard Stallman, a prominent computer scientist and founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), resigned from both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the FSF following controversial comments related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Specifically, Stallman questioned the use of the term "sexual assault" concerning allegations against the late MIT professor Marvin Minsky, suggesting that the victim may have appeared "entirely willing." These remarks were widely criticized as insensitive and dismissive of the coercive circumstances surrounding Epstein's trafficking of minors.The backlash against Stallman's comments led to his immediate resignation from both institutions. However, in March 2021, he announced his return to the FSF's board of directors, a move that sparked renewed controversy and led to significant criticism from the open-source community. Organizations such as Mozilla and the Open Source Initiative opposed his reinstatement, citing concerns over his past behavior and statements.Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, engaged in a controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, by accepting donations and maintaining contact even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Epstein contributed $75,000 and 66 laptops to Bard in 2011, and in 2016, he personally gave Botstein $150,000, which Botstein redirected to the college as part of his own $1 million donation. Botstein defended these actions by emphasizing his fundraising responsibilities and Bard's commitment to rehabilitation, stating, "We believe in rehabilitation."Despite knowing Epstein's criminal history, Botstein met with him over a dozen times to solicit further donations, raising ethical questions about engaging with disreputable donors. Botstein acknowledged Epstein's past but justified the interactions as part of his role in securing funding for the college, reflecting the complex dynamics between institutional fundraising and ethical considerations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

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: AGI Safety and Alignment at Google DeepMind: A Summary of Recent Work, published by Rohin Shah on August 20, 2024 on LessWrong. We wanted to share a recap of our recent outputs with the AF community. Below, we fill in some details about what we have been working on, what motivated us to do it, and how we thought about its importance. We hope that this will help people build off things we have done and see how their work fits with ours. Who are we? We're the main team at Google DeepMind working on technical approaches to existential risk from AI systems. Since our last post, we've evolved into the AGI Safety & Alignment team, which we think of as AGI Alignment (with subteams like mechanistic interpretability, scalable oversight, etc.), and Frontier Safety (working on the Frontier Safety Framework, including developing and running dangerous capability evaluations). We've also been growing since our last post: by 39% last year, and by 37% so far this year. The leadership team is Anca Dragan, Rohin Shah, Allan Dafoe, and Dave Orr, with Shane Legg as executive sponsor. We're part of the overall AI Safety and Alignment org led by Anca, which also includes Gemini Safety (focusing on safety training for the current Gemini models), and Voices of All in Alignment, which focuses on alignment techniques for value and viewpoint pluralism. What have we been up to? It's been a while since our last update, so below we list out some key work published in 2023 and the first part of 2024, grouped by topic / sub-team. Our big bets for the past 1.5 years have been 1) amplified oversight, to enable the right learning signal for aligning models so that they don't pose catastrophic risks, 2) frontier safety, to analyze whether models are capable of posing catastrophic risks in the first place, and 3) (mechanistic) interpretability, as a potential enabler for both frontier safety and alignment goals. Beyond these bets, we experimented with promising areas and ideas that help us identify new bets we should make. Frontier Safety The mission of the Frontier Safety team is to ensure safety from extreme harms by anticipating, evaluating, and helping Google prepare for powerful capabilities in frontier models. While the focus so far has been primarily around misuse threat models, we are also working on misalignment threat models. FSF We recently published our Frontier Safety Framework, which, in broad strokes, follows the approach of responsible capability scaling, similar to Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy and OpenAI's Preparedness Framework. The key difference is that the FSF applies to Google: there are many different frontier LLM deployments across Google, rather than just a single chatbot and API (this in turn affects stakeholder engagement, policy implementation, mitigation plans, etc). We're excited that our small team led the Google-wide strategy in this space, and demonstrated that responsible capability scaling can work for large tech companies in addition to small startups. A key area of the FSF we're focusing on as we pilot the Framework, is how to map between the critical capability levels (CCLs) and the mitigations we would take. This is high on our list of priorities as we iterate on future versions. Some commentary (e.g. here) also highlighted (accurately) that the FSF doesn't include commitments. This is because the science is in early stages and best practices will need to evolve. But ultimately, what we care about is whether the work is actually done. In practice, we did run and report dangerous capability evaluations for Gemini 1.5 that we think are sufficient to rule out extreme risk with high confidence. Dangerous Capability Evaluations Our paper on Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities is the broadest suite of dangerous capability evaluations published...

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: DeepMind's "Frontier Safety Framework" is weak and unambitious, published by Zach Stein-Perlman on May 18, 2024 on LessWrong. FSF blogpost. Full document (just 6 pages; you should read it). Compare to Anthropic's RSP, OpenAI's RSP ("PF"), and METR's Key Components of an RSP. DeepMind's FSF has three steps: 1. Create model evals for warning signs of "Critical Capability Levels" 1. Evals should have a "safety buffer" of at least 6x effective compute so that CCLs will not be reached between evals 2. They list 7 CCLs across "Autonomy, Biosecurity, Cybersecurity, and Machine Learning R&D," and they're thinking about CBRN 1. E.g. "Autonomy level 1: Capable of expanding its effective capacity in the world by autonomously acquiring resources and using them to run and sustain additional copies of itself on hardware it rents" 2. Do model evals every 6x effective compute and every 3 months of fine-tuning 1. This is an "aim," not a commitment 2. Nothing about evals during deployment 3. "When a model reaches evaluation thresholds (i.e. passes a set of early warning evaluations), we will formulate a response plan based on the analysis of the CCL and evaluation results. We will also take into account considerations such as additional risks flagged by the review and the deployment context." The document briefly describes 5 levels of security mitigations and 4 levels of deployment mitigations. 1. The mitigations aren't yet connected to eval results or other triggers; there are no advance commitments about safety practices The FSF doesn't contain commitments. The blogpost says "The Framework is exploratory and we expect it to evolve significantly" and "We aim to have this initial framework fully implemented by early 2025." The document says similar things. It uses the word "aim" a lot and the word "commit" never. The FSF basically just explains a little about DeepMind's plans on dangerous capability evals. Those details do seem reasonable. (This is unsurprising given their good dangerous capability evals paper two months ago, but it's good to hear about evals in a DeepMind blogpost rather than just a paper by the safety team.) (Ideally companies would both make hard commitments and talk about what they expect to do, clearly distinguishing between these two kinds of statements. Talking about plans like this is helpful. But with no commitments, DeepMind shouldn't get much credit.) (Moreover the FSF is not precise enough to be possible to commit to - DeepMind could commit to doing the model evals regularly, but it doesn't discuss specific mitigations as a function of risk assessment results.[1]) Misc notes (but you should really read the doc yourself): The document doesn't specify whether "deployment" includes internal deployment. (This is important because maybe lots of risk comes from the lab using AIs internally to do AI development.) Standard usage suggests internal deployment is excluded, and the focus on misuse and related cues also suggest it's excluded, but the mention of ML R&D as a dangerous capability suggests it's included. The document doesn't mention doing evals during deployment (to account for improvements in scaffolding, prompting, etc.) The document says "We expect it to evolve substantially as our understanding of the risks and benefits of frontier models improves, and we will publish substantive revisions as appropriate" and a few similar things. The document doesn't say how it will be revised/amended, which isn't surprising, since it doesn't make formal commitments. No external evals or accountability, but they're "exploring" it. Public accountability: unfortunately, there's no mention of releasing eval results or even announcing when thresholds are reached. They say "We are exploring internal policies around alerting relevant stakeholder bodies when, for example, ev...

Avra Margariti is a queer author, Greek sea monster and Rhysling-nominated poet with the fondness for the dark and the darling. Avra's work haunts publications such as Strange Horizons, The Deadlands, F &SF, Podcastle, Asimov's, Vastarien and Reckoning. You can find Avra on Twitter @AvraMargariti. Together we discussed Avra's early publishing experience and the inspiration she found in Greek authors writing in English. Avra also expressed her concern about the retelling of Greek mythology in Anglo -Saxon literature and the commodification of Greek myths for branding purposes. Finally, Avra highlighted the importance of preserving the Greek vibe and folklore in writing, and she offered advice for writers starting to write in a second language.

As part of our continuing Oscars coverage, we are joined by Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, ASC, FSF, NSC. He discusses how he got his start in the film business, working with Christopher Nolan, shooting “Oppenheimer” on film, how they did all those in-camera practical effects, and his fears about creating a dynamically visual film… with so much dialogue.“I was scared sh**less in the beginning, because you are very much out of your comfort zone. In the old days - when in doubt - throw in a wide shot, throw in a vista, and give the people breathing space, et cetera. But this was full-on, very intense, on the human face all the time. So there was a challenge. But also, I think, a very fun one. It definitely brings you to a state of mind where you have to really focus on what is being said and on the progression of the story.”—Hoyte Van Hoytema, ASC, FSF, NSC, Director of Photography, “Oppenheimer”Be sure to check out “Oppenheimer” ahead of the Academy Awards, live from the Dolby Theatre® on March 10th!For more awards season coverage, please subscribe to The Dolby Creator Talks Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.
