      I’m hiring a postdoc to work with me on social implications of AI. Technical/CS background (especially within the ML cluster) plus serious interest or degree in social sciences and/or industry experience. Posting coming soon.

      ⬆️Good job if you think we dead, but not because of robot backflips in the battlefield but because Amazon will use these robots to put AAA batteries you bought in the correct shipping box while the unemployed millions are recruited into militias. 😬https://twitter.com/mrmedina/status/931291808394440706 …

      ⬆️Also good job if progress in battery miniaturization efforts scare you more than backflipping robots because you don't think "oh great, phones that last longer" but rather you have slaughterbot swarm nightmares.

          In other words, I want to create a team to collectively think through how the historically-aligned, mundane incentives for the development of technologies in the penumbra of machine intelligence will interact with how human societies operate. 😬

          "historically-aligned": stuff that we know from history that humans will do, try to do, and that will matter under the current economic, political and social incentive structures. (So robots playing chess or doing backflips are not too relevant),https://twitter.com/NatalieBrender/status/935237403190575105 …
