Dr. Frank N. von Hippel, Senior Research Physicist and Professor of Public and International Affairs emeritus of the Program on Science and Global Security at Princeton University's forthcoming book is, “Ending the Nuclear Arms Race – A physicist's quest.”  The world has 9 nuclear states and over 10,000 nuclear weapons. The Doomsday Clock sponsored by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is now 90-seconds before striking midnight.  DoD spends over $125 million per day to maintain our nuclear stockpile. Rather than spend trillions to modernize nuclear weapons, we should reduce them. A key player has been the United Nations, through its treaties and conferences, in reducing nuclear threats. The UN Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) concluded in 1970 is the major treaty.  Today's weapons are far more powerful and devastating than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.  Recommendations: No First Use of nukes; 2) Get away from launch on warning posture.

After the long-awaited decision of the United States to allow the use of Western-made weapons against internationally recognized Russian territory, Russia retaliated by launching an Oreshnik missile, which it claims is a newly developed intercontinental ballistic missile. With many details about the new missile still unknown, the danger of possible nuclear escalation looms over the world, leaving decisionmakers in the West grappling with the question of how to navigate such dangerous terrain.Host - Alex GabuevGuest - James ActonMusic by Liam Gordon

Russia's unjustified aggression against Ukraine has revitalized NATO, and this new energy was on display at the recent 75th anniversary summit of the alliance. While there were some long-term decisions to boost European deterrence against the Russian threat, other key questions were left unanswered. Can Ukraine become a full member of the alliance? When can this happen? The open-ended confrontation in Eastern Europe, and the risks posed by a belligerent Russia, have resulted in a situation that is more ripe for escalation than the darkest days of the Cold War.In this episode, renowned historian Mary Elise Sarotte discusses the roots of the current crisis. Author of Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post–Cold War Stalemate, Mary Elise Sarotte is also Marie-Josée and Henry R.

This is: AI Safety Newsletter #6: Examples of AI safety progress, Yoshua Bengio proposes a ban on AI agents, and lessons from nuclear arms control, published by Dan H on May 16, 2023 on LessWrong. Welcome to the AI Safety Newsletter by the Center for AI Safety. We discuss developments in AI and AI safety. No technical background required. Subscribe here to receive future versions. Examples of AI safety progress Training AIs to behave safely and beneficially is difficult. They might learn to game their reward function, deceive human oversight, or seek power. Some argue that researchers have not made much progress in addressing these problems, but here we offer a few examples of progress on AI safety. Detecting lies in AI outputs. Language models often output false text, but a recent paper suggests they understand the truth in ways not reflected in their output. By analyzing a model's internals, we can calculate the likelihood that a model believes a statement is true. The finding has been replicated in models that answer questions about images. One reason to prefer examining a model's internals over trusting its output is because AI training processes often unintentionally reward models for outputting falsehoods. For example, language models might learn to mimic common misconceptions in their training data. More perniciously, if a human is giving feedback on an AI's performance, the AI can trick the human into falsely believing they've done a good job. It's important to build several defenses against deception so that failures in one layer can potentially be caught by another. Giving AI a conscience. AI agents take actions to pursue goals. But there are harmful ways to pursue many goals, such as by breaking laws and violating ethical standards. To block AI agents from misbehaving, its actions can be subjected to approval by an artificial conscience. An artificial conscience is a separate model trained to identify unacceptable actions. Before an AI agent takes an action, the action is automatically assessed by artificial conscience. If the conscience does not believe the action is acceptable, it can veto the action, and the agent is unable to act perform an action in its environment until the conscience approves an action. An artificial conscience can be easily combined with AI agent before or after training. How would an artificial conscience decide which actions are acceptable? Language models have shown some understanding of ethical concepts such as justice, fairness, and utility which could be used to inform decisions. The people affected by AI decisions could be given a voice in its decisions by aligning AI with laws decided by democratic processes. In this scenario, an AI agent witnesses a crime and considers how to respond. The agent was not tasked with fighting crime, so it does not anticipate any reward for its possible actions. But the artificial conscience identifies that calling the police is the only moral response, and this becomes the only action the agent can take. Pretraining AI with human preferences. AI models are often pretrained to identify patterns in large volumes of text or image data. Only afterwards are they fine-tuned to behave in ways that humans find valuable. This has drawbacks: AI might learn harmful patterns of thinking during training, or might devise counterproductive ways to achieve the goal provided in fine-tuning. A new paper puts feedback about human preferences into the pretraining process. Rather than retrofitted a model to abide by preferences through fine-tuning later in the design process, this paper incorporates preferences early on. When the model is deployed to perform a task, it can be instructed to mimic preferred outputs from the training set. This empirically reduces the chance of misbehavior, so it has been included in Google's...

Darrell Castle talks about the withdrawal of Russia from the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New Start), Mr. Putin's annual speech to the Russian Parliament, President Biden's trip to Poland and Ukraine, and China's Global Security Initiative (GSI) Concept Paper. Transcription / Notes ETERNAL WAR AND A NUCLEAR ARMS RACE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 24th day of February in the year of our Lord 2023. I will be talking about the withdrawal of Russia from the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New Start), as well as Mr. Putin's annual speech to the Russian Parliament, President Biden's trip to Poland and Ukraine, and finally China's Global Security Initiative (GSI) Concept Paper. President Biden reportedly left Washington in secret at 4:15 am on Sunday morning, flying to Poland where he made a speech and then he took a 10 hour train ride to Kiev Ukraine. The secrecy of the trip and itinerary was certainly understandable given the security issues with a U.S. president today. I'm pretty sure the secret service had quite a difficult time in advance work for this trip. He chose to deliver a speech in Poland where he expressed pride in the accomplishment of building a coalition from the Atlantic to the Pacific to oppose Russia. He missed his words a little bit, but he was trying to say that NATO, the U.S., and Japan were all in on their determination to stop Putin's brutal war of aggression. He almost always uses that rhetoric even though reportedly in a phone conversation with Putin in January as well as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a meeting with Secretary of State Blinken, the Russians appealed to the U.S. to stop the inflammatory rhetoric to give diplomacy a chance to work. One might conclude from the continuation of that language that American diplomats do not want a negotiated peace at this time, but nevertheless the President went on to Kiev as scheduled. He met Ukrainian President Zelensky, and they walked together bravely through the streets while air raid sirens screamed for the American media. The problem with the air raid sirens was that it seems as if they were staged for the TV audience because National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters that Russia had been informed of the President's intent and his itinerary before the visit. CNN's Alex Marquardt reported that he had been in Kiev for five days and heard no explosions and no sirens. They started right when Biden started his stroll with Zelensky, but the two brave presidents did not scramble to the shelters and did not even get off the street. Warning the Russians in advance was understandable so that no attack would be forthcoming during the visit, but it has become a kind of tradition with our military now. General Milley, said he assured the Chinese that he would warn them in advance of an American attack because his commander in chief was supposedly crazy. When told that Chinese balloons were floating over America during the Trump administration, Trump said that's the first I've heard of it and the Joint Chiefs said yes, we decided not to tell him because he was too aggressive. So, the Biden team notified the Russians that he was going there even though they understandably  kept it secret from others.

Chad Pradelli and Sharifa Jackson report that the alleged shooter “stood over [Officer Fitzgerald] and shot him several more times in the head while he was on the ground.” The alleged shooter is being held without bail—he was arrested in 2021 for making a terroristic bomb threat.

Russia says it's suspending the last big nuclear arms control treaty. It was one of the few ways the U.S. and Russia were still talking. President Biden is in Poland to talk with NATO leaders about what to do. How much more dangerous could the world become? A lot of Democrats have wanted someone besides President Biden to run in 2024.

The U.S. is unprepared to deter China's growing nuclear threat! The current U.S. structure was designed more than a decade ago and is based primarily on the need to deter Russia. But as China builds up, the U.S. will need a nuclear force that can credibly convince China that the costs of using nuclear weapons would exceed the benefits. Right now, it isn't clear the U.S. would be able to do that. America's nuclear force isn't large enough to take on Russia's and China's at the same time. Should the U.S. build more nuclear weapons? Should we start a new Cold-War style nuclear arms race? The Rick Roberts Show is on NewsTalk 820 WBAP ... (Photo Courtesy of WFAA)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
