Casper argues AI policy debates have barely moved since 2023 but can shift within weeks after a shock, so researchers should prepare the work now for when the next incident changes what's politically possible. Also: https://buff.ly/oLjCmvk Original post on X Section: Organization News<...

The argument is aimed at AI safety and policy researchers, who may need to decide whether to build proposals before a crisis rather than after one. If Casper's view holds, the timing of policy work could matter as much as its content. The post is a short teaser, so the full talk's reasoning and evidence are worth checking before drawing firm conclusions.
