A House of Dynamite has been widely reviewed, but I think much of the critique misses the point. Here’s my take: unidir.org/dynamite-makes…

I walked into a "humane," "free-range" turkey farm and took a short video. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone...

Grateful to share my new piece in The New York Times. I write that there are moments in great-power politics when the tectonic plates seem to shift beneath us. The Busan Summit that froze the U.S.-China trade war was one of them. And if historians try to identify exactly when China

UAE's G42 and Saudi Arabia's Humain are authorized to import 35,000 nvidia GB300 chips each. This is conditioned on adherence to strict security and reporting requirements (but the details of these aren't currently public).

EXCLUSIVE — here's the full draft executive order on AI preemption. Transformer is publishing the full text for anyone to read.

the METR graph has become a load bearing institution on which our global stock markets depend

This is frustrating given the amount of fear this project generated with the media tour around it by Daniel and Scott Alexander

"What does cyber really achieve, strategically?" is a recurring question in the cyberwarfare debate. In this new article for Journal of Cyber Policy, I try to tackle it focusing on one of the most dreaded cyber weapons: Wipers. A few highlights from this study...🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Is the AI boom a bubble? Are Wall Street and Nvidia in an unhealthy relationship? And should ChatGPT be helping you do your taxes? Ed Zitron weighed in on these questions and more with host Jon Bateman on this week's World Unpacked. Watch here: youtu.be/rvZwslBfJPw?si…

Interesting. And worth noting how unpopular Section 230 is today.

funny. at the end of it all, the bottleneck is still me

Brad is not saying AI preemption would be as bad as the Iraq War. He’s saying each is “a decision that will lead to deep regret and which, in a short time, will be an albatross around the neck of anyone running for office.”

Say what you will about the substance of state AI bills. Process-wise, state legislatures have been far more deliberative and transparent than Congress, where pre-emption is constantly being engineered in secret and stuffed into must-pass bills.

If you’re trying to make sense of what states are actually doing in AI policy Bill Kramer did us a favor. The highlights: 136 AI-related laws in 2025, 110/136 create no mandates on private devs or deployers. Bill reviews the other 26. multistate.ai/2025-enacted-a…

This is truly impressive. Almost embarrassed to admit this but I genuinely foresee myself listening to AI music in the future (some of the time).

Great story in The Wire China tonight profiling Unitree and the rise of China’s robotics industry. Unitree’s bots are now so popular and inexpensive that even Department of War 🇺🇸 researchers are using them. Maybe worth looking into, Pete Hegseth & Elbridge Colby.
