The UK has assembled quite the team for its Foundation Model Taskforce, with strong support from No10. However, labor is poised to win the next election. Assuming they do, will Labor choose to keep the taskforce around?

Resolves to YES if, one year after a new labor PM takes office, the Foundation Model Taskforce still exists, with 50% or more of its previous budget, still in my judgment centrally making efforts intended to reduce extinction risk, without fatal interference from outside or from within that turns its strategies to obvious nonsense or otherwise makes it effectively non-functional.

Resolves to NO if, one year after a new labor PM takes office, the Foundation Model Taskforce does not exist inside the UK government, or has less than 50% of its previous budget, or has pivoted to concerns other than extinction risk, or has been forced into an Obvious Nonsense or clearly net-negative-for-x-risk strategy in my sole judgment.

Resolves to N/A if, by the closing date, Labor has not formed a UK government.

(I may revise the details of the criteria here for clarity and correctness as is justified, the goal is to be in the spirit of the actual question.)

Very professional question misspelling the Labour party 😂 I'm sure we can trust the poster when they are obviously so clued in

“still in my judgment centrally making efforts intended to reduce extinction risk” - Are we sure that’s the goal right now? I’d say that it seems their central goal is providing the UK with a model for sovereign power and x-risk just goes along for the ride

Might be worth spelling Labour correctly ;)
