The concept of an #AIkillswitch, a mechanism to shut down #AIsystems, is being debated as concerns about AI’s potential risks grow. While some argue it’s too late to implement such a solution due to AI’s #complexity and #unpredictability, others believe it could be effective with careful design and implementation from the outset. #Policymakers are exploring various approaches, including #killswitches and #safeguards. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/19/ai-kill-switch-explained.html?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

1 Bloomberg: History is littered with examples of #policymakers challenging the market’s judgment on #assetprices and losing. In his hedge fund career, #Bessent himself played a key role in one such episode … 🧵

At least 5 of these 7 points will do nothing but increase the surveillance state, ultimately putting European Jews at more risk when things, inevitably, officially/legally turn against them.
Current fears + generational trauma is blinding us to the ramifications of deepening our dependence on states built on top of cultures that have thousands of years of fucked up track records for Jews.
"The Conference of #European #Rabbis (#CER) launched a seven-point manifesto in #Brussels last week, demanding that European governments move beyond physical security measures and dismantle the ideological and financial infrastructure driving rising hostility against #Jewish communities.
The manifesto, titled “A Call to End the Violent Hatred,” was presented at the Representation of the Free State of #Bavaria to the #EU before a gathering of #politicians, #policymakers, and #journalists."

1 Bloomberg: The sudden rally in the #yen highlights a growing risk in #markets: More than ever, it seems, #traders have to be on alert for #policymakers putting their thumbs on the scale.
When #governments step in to nudge prices in their preferred direction … 🧵 -
1 TD: If #Canadian #policymakers play their cards right, the country could be propelled into an #investment “ #supercycle” lasting for a decade or longer.
The recent escalation in the #U.S.-Canada #tradewar makes the case for Canada to seize the opportunity in front of it more compelling. 🧵 -
"The #social-media industry spent a decade making its #toxic practices legally and politically untouchable. The children, parents, and loved ones of those harmed are now demanding #accountability. The question is whether #policymakers will respond before the #AI industry replicates the same model."

In an open letter, the heads of leading #AI companies, scientists, and #biosecurity experts are imploring #policymakers to regulate them by law so that their machines do not develop #biochemical weapons.
They will likely receive praise and recognition for this, even though the whole premise is flawed. Human decency is sufficient to prevent such things—that is, the ability to restrain and control oneself.
The tragic reality, however, is that #decency is found only where it is unimportant. Once #power and the necessary means come into play, it stands no chance against #greed.

📉 CPC member Dr Bernice Kuang was called on to discuss whether #fallingbirthrates are really something to worry about, for the latest #TheRestisPolitics newsletter.
Bernice described how declining #birthrates should not provoke panic.
Instead, #policymakers should use them to devise big picture strategies to help #youngpeople have #children if and when they want to, alongside creating solutions to #care for #oldergenerations as they age.

'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.
