After I left OpenAI, I knew I wanted to be at a non-profit but wasn't sure whether to join or start one. Ultimately I started one bc [long story redacted] but RAND is one I considered + their pivot to taking AI seriously is a great thing for the world: x.com/ohlennart/stat…

My team at RAND is hiring! Technical analysis for AI policy is desperately needed. Particularly keen on ML engineers and semiconductor experts eager to shape AI policy. Also seeking excellent generalists excited to join our fast-paced, impact-oriented team. Links below.

Great @ColinKahl + @jim_mitre essay on why crossing the AGI threshhold first, though a big deal, isn't a panacea. More critical than who is in the pole position or the military implications is👇. Can we pull off adoption in a stable way? These levers would be hugely expensive.

The AI contest between the United States and China is not a singular race—it is “a multifront competition whose outcome will shape the international balance of power,” write @ColinKahl and @jim_mitre. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

The AI race between US & China intensifies. While US export controls have restricted China’s access to advanced chips, cos aim to offset the gap by competing on price. What can we expect more on this AI front? Watch @jim_mitre of @RANDCorporation on #GlobalLens. @parikshitl
