"recalibrate" means "increase" obviously.
disappointing to see this six-week development. openai will continually decrease the level of risk we are comfortable taking with new models as they get more powerful, not the other way around.
China’s political strategy for unification has always had a military component, as well as economic, informational, legal, and diplomatic components. Most U.S. analysis frames China’s options as a binary of peace or war and ignores these other elements. At the same time, many in Washington believe that if Beijing resorts to the use of force, the only military option it would consider is invasion. This is a dangerous oversimplification. China has many options to increase pressure on Taiwan, including military options short of invasion—limited campaigns to seize Taiwan-held islands just off China’s coast, blockades of Taiwan’s ports, and economic quarantines to choke off the island’s trade. Lesser options probably could not compel Taiwan’s capitulation but could further isolate it economically and politically in an effort to raise pressure on the government in Taipei and induce it to enter into political negotiations on terms amenable to Beijing.
An all-out invasion would be detected months in advance:
Any invasion of Taiwan will not be secret for months prior to Beijing’s initiation of hostilities. It would be a national, all-of-regime undertaking for a war potentially lasting years.
This describes three utopias. It makes sense to have several since everyone has differing definitions of utopia.
The 'Psychonauts' sound like the Hedonistic Imperative version of utopia:
The Psychonauts had formed the second most popular cluster. They endorsed hedonism as a theory of value, believing that the purpose of life is the elimination of suffering and the enjoyment of bliss.
Their application form mentions the BlueDot AI governance course
Good to see more ideas on new charities.
Could you provide more details on this example idea:
Charity Entrepreneurship produced a report on welfare focused gene modification back in 2019. Has there been a change of mind since then?
The donor is anonymous.
From the Wired article: "The temporary exhibit is funded until May by an anonymous donor..."
Thanks for all the comments.

Hedonistic Imperative - David Pearce. Eradicating suffering through biotechnology and paradise engineering.
Toby Ord has written about the affectable universe, the portion of the universe that “humanity might be able to travel to or affect in any other way.”
I’m curious whether anyone has written about the affectable universe in terms of time.
