Thursday assorted links
1. Claims about the Russian defense sector.
2. South Korea to ban dog meat.
3. Microsoft debates what to do with AI lab in China, perhaps EAers should discuss this more? (NYT) EA is right about many issues, but for far too long foreign policy has been a weak suit of the philosophy. And here is U.S. companies talking to China about AI safety (FT).
4. Johor Bahru metro concept map. And “Malaysia and Singapore agreed to jointly develop a special economic zone and explore a range of measures including passport-free travel to boost trade between the neighbors that each count the other as the No. 2 trading partner.” (Bloomberg, this has been a longstanding prediction of mine).
