Thursday assorted links

1. “We find that using algorithmic responses changes language and social relationships. More specifically, it increases communication speed, use of positive emotional language, and conversation partners evaluate each other as closer and more cooperative. However, consistent with common assumptions about the adverse effects of AI, people are evaluated more negatively if they are suspected to be using algorithmic responses.”  Link here.

2. Living with non-alignment.  And a very sane take on AI risk.  Very good thread.  And should American VCs be funding Chinese AI?  And Leopold Aschenbrenner responds to me on AI risk, very good piece.

3. Why isn’t Europe doing worse?

4. “I hereby challenge professors from universities around the world to submit assignments that they believe are AI-immune.”

5. Which individuals are most likely to believe that AI is likely to destroy society?
