If you have a Substack blog, consider using Datawrapper embeds for inserting tables or charts. For some reason Substack has been somewhat hiding this cool feature as its not visible in the menu and poorly advertised but it lets you create highly customizable charts/tables for your Substack posts - and is also supported on Wordpress or in the form of an HTML embed if you have a self-hosted blog/website. I wrote a brief guideline on how to use it in my blog - and you can see cool Datawrapper embeds in Nate Silver's substack.
Sadly Datawrapper not supported on LessWrong (yet) but LW already has native support for table embeds, so its less relevant.
I’m surprised that many people acting as if the HF-OpenAI incident presents a risk to humanity in the near future (1-3 years), rather than something that will only have consequences long down the line (10-15 years). Right now even the worst case scenarios don’t represent a risk of extinction, unless you count in the “AI makes a supervirus” risk, which seems far fetched to me as of 2026.
All HF-OpenAI did was demonstrate that the LW/EY predictions were basically correct, but I don’t think anyone’s p(doom) or timelines should be updated as a result, because, well, we’ve all pretty much expected this to happen, so a good Bayesian wouldn’t update much on expected evidence.
