I was planning to do a thread with one tweet per point in my recent Wall Street Journal Opinion on regulating AI. But then I realized I couldn't top this version of it.

My biggest personal policy position 180 has been from more-sunshine-more-good to believing that private spaces and private info/data curation is necessary for good governance.

Gutting scientific funding and scaring away talented immigrants while raising the cost of manufacturing stuff in America is, genuinely, like something weโ€™d be forced to do after losing a war to a geopolitical adversary that deviously sought to hamstring US technological power for

The nominee for USCIS Director said today he wants to end OPT. "What I want to see is...us to remove the ability for employment authorizations for F-1 students beyond the time that they're in school." Why would we want to kick out talent right after we're done training them?

The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival. Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab โ€œany city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Elon would do the world and his audience on this website a great service if he made it clear that the drivers of federal spending are not unspecified "pork" but rather a distinct group of health care and retirement programs that are all extremely popular. x.com/elonmusk/statuโ€ฆ

If you are protesting ICE in your city, carry an American flag with you and wave it proudly. Let the media see the state trying to crush dissent when it's carrying our national flag. A flag that came out of a revolution against tyranny.

27 prominent economists come out swinging in US court against Trump's "emergency" tariffs. They (rightly) say: -Trade deficits aren't "unusual or extraordinary" or a "threat" to the US -Tariffs won't meaningfully reduce trade deficits but will have other major economic effects

If South Korea chained several hundred US workers, many Americans would be talking war. Hard to exaggerate how mad this is. Mad economics, mad foreign policy. Shameful to treat an ally this way. This is the kind of thing which wonโ€™t be forgotten. Decades of good will torched.

AI is cool and all... but a new paper in Science Magazine kind of figured out the origin of life? The paper reports the discovery of a simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that can perfectly copy itself.

The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.
