From the most recent ACX linkpost:
More new-ish AI policy substacks potentially worth your time:
- You may remember Helen Toner from the OpenAI board drama, but she’s also an experienced and thoughtful scholar on AI policy and now has a Substack, Rising Tide. I especially appreciated Nonproliferation Is The Wrong Approach To AI Misuse.
- You may remember Miles Brundage from OpenAI Safety Team Quitting Incident #25018 (or maybe 25019, I can’t remember). He’s got an AI policy Substack too, here’s a dialogue with Dean Ball.
- You may remember Daniel Reeves from Beeminder, but he has an AI policy Substack too, AGI Fridays. Here’s his post on AI 2027.
- If you’re at all familiar with AI policy you already know Dean Ball (Substack here), but congratulate him on being named White House senior policy advisor.
It seems like there are a bunch of people posting about AI policy on Substack, but these people don’t seem to be cross-posting on LW. Is it that LW doesn’t put much focus on AI policy, or is it that AI policy people are not putting much focus on LW?
