How the White House AI plan helps, and hurts, in the race against China
While one tech advocate called the new plan “a critical component” of efforts to outpace China, another criticized it as a “Silicon Valley wishlist.”

Yesterday's new AI Action Plan has a lot worth discussing!
One interesting aspect is its statement that the federal government should withhold AI-related funding from states with "burdensome AI regulations."
This could be cause for concern.

Banning state-level AI regulation is a bad idea!

Amidst all the discussion about AI safety, how exactly do we figure out whether a model is safe?
There's no perfect method, but safety evaluations are the best tool we have.
That said, different evals answer different questions about a model!
