Zvi provides a complete rundown of current AI news, as neutral just-the-facts reporting. He covers more detail than most people would want—I just skim it—but he highlights the most important stuff…
Arvind is in the “much less powerful than hyped, but with potential for dire misuse” quadrant. He combines skeptical takes on current AI technical practice (like my Gradient Dissent) with analyses of the social impacts of current and near-future AI systems (like my Better without AI, which footnotes his work)…
Jon is in the “remarkably powerful and progressing rapidly, which is going to be awesomely good!” quadrant. He also combines extensive technical understanding with insightful analyses of the social and cultural consequences of current and near-future AI—but from the opposite side of the American culture war from Arvind. (Better without AI also footnotes his work.) I find I agree with nearly all his opinions.
