    Schould we establish a safety car phase for the current AI arms race?
    EN: Found on tomshardware.com I think it is a good idea to activate a safety car phase on AI development and slightly interrupt the AI race in order to remove dangerous things from the racing track. Why not to establish some kind of FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) which sets the rules for that and oversights the whole thing? And I think, this is a good metaphor for Anthropic's suggestion to halt frontier model development and to take a deep breathe.

    Incorporating role definitions into SMART goal settings
    SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, reasonable and time bound. SMARTer goals are not only specific, measurable, achievable, reasonable and time bound, but also engaging and rewarding. However, based of my own experience, I can say that, when setting goals and conducting subsequent performance reviews, it is not only helpful to agree on an odd number of goals and to always use SMART goal formulations, but also to explicitly define your role for each goal.

    Aufnahme der Rollendefinition in eine SMARTe Zielverarbahrung
    SMARTe Ziele sind spezifisch, messbar, attraktiv (im Sinne erreichbar), realistisch und terminiert. SMARTer-e Ziele sind nicht nur spezifisch, messbar, attraktiv (im Sinne erreichbar), realistisch, terminiert, sondern auch motivierend (engaging) und belohnend (rewarding).
