Post by Andy Masley on Twitter: Effective Altruism DC will be organizing a large EA conference in DC on May 2nd and 3rd. While I won't be directing the org anymore I'll be extremely excited to attend. The conference will bring together the large network of people working in EA cause areas in DC as well as people from around the world, and will welcome everyone from very active EAs to EA skeptics working in related fields. EA is more topical than ever in DC. If you'd like to connect more to the general EA network here this is the best way to do it. Apply here!
an upcoming EAGx event in Washington DC — spread the word!
apply here before April 16: www.effectivealtruism.org/ea-global/ev...

The whole "projecting tactical and political meaning on a tantrum" was on display with the designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk. Obviously punitive.
Research shows LLM framing affects belief in their mental capacities. When presented as companions, belief increases; as machines, skepticism rises, leading to cautious interactions. This may guide future AI communication. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.18039
Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.
But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.
It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

🚨 My first solo preprint is out!
I study Grok's fact-checking on X and show:
📌 Professional fact-checkers are a major source of Grok.
📌 Grok becomes more accurate as more articles from fact-checkers become available.

1. So you're saying he ruined the relationships Twitter had with professional fact checkers, only for Grok to smuggle them back in?
2. Excellent title, would also have liked "all these facts will be lost in time, like tweets in rain."
That's awesome! Take advantage of times work is slower to invest in your social life.
@kabirkumar.bsky.social Hey, doing well! How are you?
Data centers are just a shibboleth: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/o...
You learn pretty quickly to tune that stuff out. The man in the arena and all that: criticsrant.com/the-man-in-t...
The real challenge is not just writing off all critics entirely, only the ones who don't know what they're talking about.
That's certainly one take. Here's another.
My guess: He means that his beliefs are the objectively correct ones, so it's morally wrong to partner with anyone else.
I've been banging the drum about taste for a while now.
GPT-5.4 set a new record on FrontierMath, our benchmark of extremely challenging math problems! We had pre-release access to evaluate the model. On Tiers 1–3, GPT-5.4 Pro scored 50%. On Tier 4 it scored 38%.

Anthropic once had the strongest voluntary safety framework in the industry.
If the supposedly most safety-conscious lab can't keep its promises, no lab can.

You're right, this is upstream, but there's plenty of policy work going on too, from orgs like safe.ai and www.governance.ai
"Claude, please re-implement this, but not using Codex."
CSET has received $2 million from Google.org to make scientific research more accessible. This new initiative will evaluate and implement new LLM-based methods to describe the global S&T landscape and identify emerging areas of activity.

Appreciate the update!
"National security", that is. #sigh
The fringes are often the first to speak up, but the centrists won't be far behind once they look at the polling.
You expect me to believe that a system that will give you instructions on how to make meth or plant child porn on your enemy will advise you on writing a slop scientific paper? You're stretching my credulity, sir!
I'm neither a Bernie guy nor a Bannon guy, but the fact they can agree on something is hopeful. This comes from @futureoflife.org's realization that we need both people concerned about job security and manual security to work together, or we'll have neither.
The Pro-Human Declaration has been signed by the AFL-CIO, the Congress of Christian Leaders, the Progressive Democrats of America, and Steve Bannon. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Thank you for saying what so many people are feeling. The good news is that there is a lever. A coalition is growing and policymakers are finally paying attention. humanstatement.org
