Google plans to make it easier to restrict its AI tools for students in early 2027, but says schools that block AI entirely will lose student access to Search
Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google's search engine.
Against strawmanning unilateral pauses
Summary: Scott Alexander’s Against SURA post is arguing against a strawman version of unilateral pauses. He admits as much deep into the post. I think his conclusions fail against stronger pause plans for conditional or limited unilateral…
Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
We find that frontier LLMs are surprisingly good at natively reading and writing neural network weights, well past what we’d expect from humans or conventional algorithms.

Just a little AI resistance, as a treat
At the recent EMFCamp, I bumped in to Professor Kate Devlin who was talking a little about the AI Resist List. I think one of the useful things we can do is loudly complain about shitty uses of AI. Here's an example. As mentioned in a…

Scott Alexander’s Against SURA Seems Deeply Confused
If you are helping build something that might kill everyone, maybe stop doing that. Ideally, when you do stop, tell everyone else to also stop building it. That is certainly the obvious, first-level thing to do. You need a damn good reason…
