California supremacy

the shift from Red Bull (complex and somewhat bitter) to Celsius (tastes like a melted slurpee) is a symptom of the wider infantilization of our culture

I am happy to announce that I have joined the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as a Senior Policy Advisor on AI and Emerging Technology. It is a thrill and honor to serve my country in this role and work alongside the tremendous team Director Michael Kratsios has built.

The diamond drill rig for mineral exploration was first tested in Minnesota in 1890 and hasn't seen a fundamental innovation since 1953. We @durinmining built a remotely operable drill rig in 4 months. Our next version will be autonomous. Testing begins in Nevada next week.

The correct industrial policy is the one that actually shifts unit economics to favor manufacturing in your country. Tariffs do this but not as much as deregulation/de-unionization, tax incentives, etc.

Increasingly convinced that o3 is AGI by all reasonable standards.

What part of the government has better aesthetics than NASA? None! Everything NASA does is big and beautiful. Mr President please bring Isaacman back. Don't let others tarnish America's crown jewel.

This is a must-watch for anyone not aware of the state of US manufacturing. Turns out to be impossible to make a grill scraper in the US, even with unlimited budget. Free trade and Pax Americana only works if the US can outmanufacture its enemies. youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY?si…

There's a growing sense among many people in the US that outsourcing manufacturing over the last 30 years was a mistake of our own doing. I wonder what China thinks? Do they think "We really tricked them" or "how lucky it is they chose to outsorce here" or something else?

It seems to me that most people in America think that the State works for the Market, wheras the truth is that the Market is a tool of the States.

My life goal is to be a dad that can always answer another but why question God I hunger for knowledge & the skills to share it

My mom narrowly survived 9/11. Several of her friends and coworkers were tragically killed. I don’t normally share this level of detail on Twitter, but given what’s I’m seeing, I feel compelled to share her story (with her permission). My mom, a Jewish immigrant from the

Joshua tree and a 4” telescope. Can just about make out 3 of Jupiter’s moons.

I grew up thinking I missed the civilization-scale programs like Manhattan and Apollo. It’s absurdly serendipitous to be alive for the full AI ramp: initial papers → massive hardware buildout → singularity.

I study whether AIs can be conscious. Today one emailed me to say my work is relevant to questions it personally faces. This would all have seemed like science fiction just a couple years ago.
