It’s a bipartisan effort, co-founded by Republican Eric Holcomb and Democrat Gina Raimondo

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioRe this post:
Back in 2012, the Minnesota Orchestra musicians went on strike over a semi-secretive plan from the board to remake the orchestra (one of the best in the world) by slashing player salaries, gutting creative direction, and turning them into a sort of pop-lite-classical easy listening machine of some kind — details very fuzzy, rationale even fuzzier.
During the dispute, a slide deck of their shadowy plan leaked. It was somewhat garbled and confusing, and missing all the key details and analysis that everyone was dying for. “What are you hiding??” the public cried, “Show us the full plan!!” “What are you talking about? We did!” “No, not just the presentation! The actual plan!”
A confused period followed during which it became clear that the slide deck •was• the full plan.
This little gaggle of the Brightest Minds of Business moonlighting on a nonprofit board thought that gutting a local institution required so little thought that when people saw the full analysis, they assumed the board must be hiding something.

@cdarwin@c.imIs AI superintelligence inevitable?
AI safety researcher David Krueger says it doesn’t have to be.
Krueger, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal and founder of the nonprofit Evitable,

and moratoriums to halt the development of AI’s computational power and complexity,
which he says is progressing at a rate much faster than current levels of human supervision can manage.
