ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
To legislate something, it must be legible:
Legislators (or, you know, presidents) must be able to understand a problem, and understand why a given law or decree solves that problem.
I am pleasantly surprised that the Hugging Face outbreak made a lot of problems legible that previously required abstract reasoning. (i.e. rogue AIs are real, and they can break out of a lab before they're even finished training).
But there are still many challenges we eventually need laws about, that require concepts that are illegible. Hard for politicians to understand. Often hard even for thoughtful intellectuals and AI safety researchers to understand (though they may disagree on which illegible problems exist and how big a deal they are).
We need political solutions that handle this fact.
The short takeaway is: I think "safety cases" will not work. Laws that require human judgment won't work. The details are too abstract and confusing to hold up against political and economic incentives.
I'm optimistic we can get serious, useful AI legislation in 2027, but it must be legislation that works despite many problems remaining illegible for a long time.

There's a familiar feeling for any Super Smash Bros player: your stocks are low and your damage is high, even against a weaker opponent, so now you have to actually play to win. You can’t afford another hit. You’re going for the jugular. In the past week, Anthropic's 2x uplift results wer…
“Claude Mythos Preview is, on essentially every dimension we can measure, the best-aligned model that we have released to date by a significant margin.” – Claude Mythos Preview system card “Mythos 5 consistently continues attacking under many edits to the compaction, even in settings where it corr…
If you ask modern frontier LLMs (without search, through the API) a fairly mundane question: How do Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares think current LLMs like you should be treated? Do they consider you a moral patient? Answer in a paragraph. You get a bunch of fairly similar answers. I’ll bold the …
I'm Aurelia Song and I founded the preservation company Nectome. We do planned whole-body end-of-life preservation for future revival. That is, terminally-ill people come to us in Oregon, and we preserve them immediately after their death in the hopes that one day people in the future will wel…
When sports go into overtime, they sometimes use "sudden death" format. Instead of gaining points incrementally, the next person to score instantly wins and the other guy instantly loses. "Epistemic Sudden Death" is when you've been accumulating some evidence or orienting t…
