A 10-year ban on state AI regulation is a lifetime (or two) in tech development. As Josh Hawley says in Politico today, this legislation would hurt consumers and the public as AI innovation accelerates without safeguards. Story: subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter/202…

I will NOT vote for any bill that destroys states rights and lets AI run wild for the next 10 years. AI will replace jobs, especially in the press. This is not a left or right issue. It’s about humanity. I’ll go to the mat on this. If you kill federalism, I’m out.

‼️ 🇺🇸 Congress is considering a 10-year ban on state AI laws that blocks states from acting on real risks like job loss, disinformation, surveillance, public safety, loss of control, and more. It’s a massive win for Big Tech, and a huge risk for families. 🧵 1/4

Jack Clark Anthropic Jack, Anthropic has repeatedly stressed the urgency and importance of the public safety threats it’s addressing, but those issues seem surprisingly absent here. 🧵

Today, the working group established by Governor Newsom after the veto of SB 1047 released their final report. It underscores the urgency of California leading with a “trust but verify” approach to frontier AI governance and is filled with sharp insights. 🧵

Some huge book endorsements today — from retired three-star general Jack Shanahan, former DHS Under Secretary Suzanne Spaulding, security expert Bruce Schneier, Nobel laureate Ben Bernanke, former US NSC Senior Director Jon Wolfsthal, geneticist George Church, and more!

Lots of people in AI, and especially AI policy, seem to think that aligning superintelligence is the most important issue of our time, and that failure could easily lead to extinction -- like what happened in AI 2027. But they don’t mention this fact in public because it sounds

The Senate is making changes to the AI provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Instead of an automatic 10 year moratorium on states to regulate or make laws on AI, they are tying the 10 year AI moratorium to a newly created $500,000,000 broad band account for states. Mostly

States should not be punished for trying to protect their citizens from the harms of AI. It’s why 37 state attorneys general and governors across the political spectrum have spoken out against a federal moratorium on the regulation of AI.

The latest draft of the Temporary Pause / Conditional Moratorium is up, and… it seemingly fails to do what the drafters so clearly want to do. And it’s b/c of the phrase “disproportionate burden”. I think Sen. Marsha Blackburn will want to take a look at this urgently.

Paging Josh Hawley. We need you to be a hero today.

Joe Rogan on superintelligence: "I feel like when people are saying they can control it, I feel like I'm being gaslit. I don't believe them. I don't believe that they believe it, because it just doesn't make sense."

Dear every tech trade association who has said that AI regulation will make us lose the race to China...please reply or quote this with your tweet or statement opposing selling AI chips to China.

Calling this "training for interpretability" is misleading... it's more like "training that doesn't obviously degrade interpretability". Nobody actually has a method to train for interpretability.

45/69 NY Republican legislators voted for RAISE. This is a bipartisan issue!

Say the US wants a deal with China on powerful AI. Could we verify that China doesn’t cheat? For the last year, my team produced the most technically detailed overview so far. Our RAND working paper finds: strong verification is possible—but we need ML and hardware research. 🧵

🎉 China continues to call for NOT RACING! REMINDER 1) Big AI spends a FORTUNE pushing the race narrative ("bUt ChiNa") THIS IS AN OLD TRICK FOR AVOIDING REGULATION: Throughout the Cold War, the military-industrial complex spent a fortune pushing the false narrative that the
