> OpenAI has closed many of its safety-focussed teams

A paper with "ideas to keep people first" was (coincidentally?) published today:

  • Worker perspectives
  • AI-first entrepreneurs
  • Right to AI
  • Accelerate grid expansion
  • Accelerate scientific discovery and scale the benefits. 

  • Modernize the tax base
  • Public Wealth Fund
  • Efficiency dividends
  • Adaptive safety nets that work for everyone
  • Portable benefits

  • Pathways into human-centered work

  My mission was to create a Sci-fi Noir episode of the Twilight Zone by way of David Lynch and Phillip K. Dick. Big shout out to Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller for speaking to my soul in Severance. And of course to the enigmatic QNTM for sparking my imagination with the original story, "We Need to Talk About 55". Long live the SCP Foundation.
