The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy estimated in 2021 that it would cost just over $24 billion. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/American-Pandemic-Preparedness-Transforming-Our-Capabilities-Final-For-Web.pdf

I don't know at the moment. Yet, soon after we reach AGI, we could have massive unemployment. If this happens, a basic income seems the only alternative.

Releasing the RAE dictionary into the public domain would help spread Spanish and help improve LLMs in Spanish.

Most AI risks are not minimised if the EU is the only one who regulates. It only makes Europe less competitive.

If the most advanced AI models are open source, the existential risk may be higher. Yet, if they are closed, this might lead to too much control from a few organisations or countries.

The tax authority already has the quarterly VAT summaries.

If we are humble, disagreements can be fun. They can also enrich us by improving our views.

AI is starting to be as transformative as electricity once was, but its impact will be even more profound as we reach AGI and superintelligence. Given the vast potential changes to our way of life, it's crucial that everyone plays a role in shaping our society of tomorrow, ensuring it aligns with our shared values.

Uncertainty is massive as we approach superintelligence. So I have no idea.

Taller buildings could potentially expand the housing supply, thereby making urban living more affordable.

While I don’t fully trust online voting for general elections, I believe it is reliable enough for popular legislative proposals and would increase citizen participation.

At one time, questioning the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe was as provocative as the current debates surrounding the existence of free will. Yet, Robert Sapolsky's YouTube videos have prompted me to reconsider this.

I used to refrain from giving my opinion on issues I don't know enough about or can't change. Not only didn’t I share my views with others, but I avoided spending any time on my own to know my opinion. This changed when I read Julia Galef's post inviting us to guess. She argued it might prompt others to share info. This could improve our opinions or even change our minds. Thus, with this strategy, we should end up right more times.

I believe in saying 'no' often, recognizing that to fully commit to our most crucial projects, we must also learn to say 'no' to numerous other possibilities.
