Here Lies Love is a serious show about courage in the face of martial law. i lived in 🇵🇭 briefly in 2016 and still learned a lot from the show—and was reminded how the US propped up and rescued Marcos. im very sad to see it’s closing 11/26—please try to go if you live in nyc

Excited to share our paper on how the field of AI safety has developed!

We focus on the epistemic culture of AI safety: not only the ideas, but also the intertwined social, intellectual, and institutional practices that have shaped and propelled them.

And the paper is now officially published (open access!) in the ACM library:

I'll be presenting this work today at ACM EAAMO during the 3:30 session on power and participation. Looking forward to further conversations :)
