@Research_FRI is dedicated to improving signal-to-noise ratios in heated debates. LEAP, Longitudinal Expert AI Panel, elicits testable forecasts of AI progress each month. First-wave results will frustrate extremists at both ends of opinion spectrum but if you love nuance...
In Bloomberg today, FRI Chief Scientist, @PTetlock argues that the debate over AI progress needs falsifiable forecasts rather than broad statements: "The debate over the future of AI deserves fewer overconfident proclamations and more precise, policy-relevant predictions. Careful forecasting surveys, of the kind I’ve spent my career working on, can test arguments against reality and, in time, affirm the voices that consistently deliver reliable, actionable guidance."

Today likely marks the lowest number of child deaths in human history. @UNICEF’s latest data shows that the world’s most important number keeps falling. A quiet global miracle — almost never mentioned in the news. Thank you for tracking it, @UNICEFData.

We just launched a new #AI testing of chatbots' global misconceptions: The Artificial Worldview Benchmark #AWB. WORST SCORE: #grok2 @xai, only 70% correct! (Soon results for #Grok3 stay tuned @elonmusk) youtu.be/D7e1d16da0A?si=9DyD

Poverty rate amongst adult females in India: 2011-12 (at $1.9 per day): 25% 2022-23 (at $2.15 per day): 0.8% India has witnessed a massive revolution at the grassroots level, especially for women. #KnowIndia

Are you a science geek with an interest in public health? You probably imagine people like you know more about the future of global health than others
 Watch me present some test results at 10:20 in Stockholm at the Nobel Week Dialogues today: svtplay.se/video/ePvVQGV/nob

44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come. Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.

RubriksÀttare Àr ett skrÄ som Àr superduktiga pÄ att fÄnga uppmÀrksamhet... @MikaelTornwall var det du som satte denna missvisande rubrik? @SvD (Tack för bra sammanfattning @MathiasSundin !)
Det hĂ€r frĂ„n @SvD Ă€r vĂ€ldigt dĂ„ligt. Kolla de hĂ€r inledande meningarna i artikeln. Mina kommentarer inom [ ] "Hans Rosling blev vĂ€rldsberömd för sitt pedagogiska – och ofta optimistiska – sĂ€tt att förklara lĂ€get i vĂ€rlden. 2015, tvĂ„ Ă„r före sin död, talade han om att fattigdomen i vĂ€rlden skulle kunna utraderas pĂ„ 15 Ă„r." [Han pratade alltsĂ„ om extrem fattigdom, $2.15 per dag] "NĂ€r VĂ€rldsbanken nu förfinar sina definitioner ser det i stĂ€llet ut som att 44 procent av vĂ€rldens befolkning lever i fattigdom." [Det Ă€r ingen förfining utan ett ANNAT mĂ„tt, $6.85, som funnits LÄNGE.] FN:s hĂ„llbarhetsmĂ„l om att den extrema fattigdomen ska vara avskaffad före 2030 Ă€r inte lĂ€nge inom rĂ€ckhĂ„ll, enligt rapporten." [Nu hoppar de tillbaka till $2.15]. Lite lĂ€ngre ner i artikeln nĂ€mns de olika nivĂ„erna. "Tidigare rapporter har fokuserat pĂ„ de 700 miljoner som bedöms leva i extrem fattigdom. GrĂ€nsen för det Ă€r att man mĂ„ste klara sig pĂ„ 2,15 dollar per dag. Nu tar VĂ€rldsbanken Ă€ven med alla som bor i lite rikare lĂ€nder och som lever pĂ„ under 6,85 dollar per dag , vilket Ă€r grĂ€nsen för fattigdom i medelinkomstlĂ€nder." [VĂ€rldsbanken tar alltsĂ„ inte Ă€ven med de som lever pĂ„ $6.85, det Ă€r en annan nivĂ„, ett annat mĂ„tt.] --- Hans Rosling har dessutom inte sagt ATT extrem fattigdom kommer vara noll Ă„r 2030, utan att det Ă€r möjligt, "skulle kunna" skriver SvD. Det han sa Ă„r 2015, som SvD hĂ€nvisar till, var kommentarer till att FN bestĂ€mt sig för att försöka nĂ„ mĂ„let med noll extrem fattigdom 2030. Han visar i en video för BBC att vi nĂ„dde det förra mĂ„let för extrem fattigdom och att trenden dĂ€rmed ser bra ut, men... "However, I'm a statistician, and I know that just because you see a trend like that, it doesn’t mean that it will continue in the same direction. It may level off like this because the last lap is often the toughest. But on the other hand, you can see that it’s not impossible to achieve this new goal—to end extreme poverty altogether." Andelen som Ă€r fattiga enligt BÅDA dessa fattigdomsnivĂ„er SJUNKER. BĂ„de pĂ„ kort och lĂ„ng sikt. Det betyder ju inte att allt Ă€r fine. Fattigdomen mĂ„ste sjunka snabbare. SĂ„n hĂ€r journalistik Ă€r missvisande. För nĂ„gon som inte redan kĂ€nner till siffrorna och mĂ„tten Ă€r det omöjligt att förstĂ„ hur det verkligen ligger till. I mitt tycke Ă€r den VERKLIGA nyheten att den extrema fattigdomen, som sjunkit i flera Ă„rtionden men som ökade under pandemin, nu Ă€r tillbaka pĂ„ samma nivĂ„ som före pandemin.

Hans anvÀnda hellre Barnadödlighet som mÄtt pÄ extrem fattigdom: De extremt fattiga har inte nÄgra dollar som man kan rÀkna, per definition. "Antal döda barn" Àr en bÀttre enhet, som Àr jÀmförbar över tid & geografi utan problem med köpkraft eller inflation i jÀmförelserna.

Is Israel committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza? The Israeli gov’t strenuously denies it. Aryeh Neier, a giant in the world of human rights who escaped Nazi Germany and later cofounder Human Rights Watch, says the answer is yes. Our conversation from today’s GPS:

Who saved 154 million lives over 50 years? @WHO Six lives per minute! The name of the hero: Immunisation Programs. Let's make sure this great example of global progress, this triumph of human collaboration, gets its deserved attention! who.int/news/item/24-04-2024

Short thread on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation #AMOC, which brings a huge amount of heat to the northern Atlantic. If it slows, the region west of Britain cools. And the Gulf Stream moves closer to the US coast, causing warming there. Both are already happening, as satellite data show. 1/6
