That means we are free from meddling owners, free from corporate interests, and free from political pressure.

Mark's take: @Infineon’s announcement matters because Physical AI is moving from lab demos into robots, factories and public spaces, where a security failure is not just a data problem but a real-world operational risk. By integrating its OPTIGA TPM with NVIDIA Jetson Thor, Infineon is putting a quantum-resilient hardware root of trust directly into the robotics stack. This is the kind of under-the-hood move that could quietly determine which autonomous systems are trusted, regulated and deployed at scale.

South Carolina's license plate reader network captures nearly 150 million observations a year. 99.8% have no known connection to criminal activity. That's not law enforcement — that's mass surveillance.

Cato filed an amicus brief urging the Court of Appeals to foreclose this surveillance apparatus.

2 law firms, 2 insurers, the sheriff's office, a forced move, mass publication of family images, alleged postal fraud—and a local media blackout on what Google calls a "high-profile housing rights lawsuit." The map:

What happens when a mayor's affordable housing commission seat and a landlord operating from unconscious abdication are the same family?

In a #Charleston case, a court moved fast for the defense and called a pro se tenant’s safety plea "not allowed."

The specifics are public record: a homeownership-oversight seat held on & off since 2007, renewed in Oct 2024, whose holder benefits from the property at the case's center. Names, dates, filings https://t.co/irNcRtiJNs https://t.co/nb5CLekExi

@EvanKirstel Great points, all of which support designing AI-human open loop systems rather than thinking of AI as an independent voice to abdicate to.

Anthropic is hiring writers ✍️

The company behind Claude has two openings on its creative team. The enterprise copy lead pays up to $320,000. The head of copy and content goes up to $400,000. Both roles come down to the same task: take dense, technical product features and write about them so people actually want to read.

So the company building a tool that writes is paying engineer money for humans who write.

Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic this month and recently rated copywriting an 8 or 9 out of 10 for AI exposure, a job the machines are coming for fast. Anthropic posted the roles anyway. Their president, Daniela Amodei, studied literature in college and keeps arguing that the humanities get more valuable as the models get smarter, not less. I think she is right, and these salary numbers back her up.

Generating text was never the bottleneck. The hard part is taste. Knowing your audience. Cutting the line that does not earn its place. Deciding what to leave out, which almost nobody gets credit for and everybody notices when it is missing.

Writing more is easy. Writing the right thing, for the right people, at the right moment is what companies are paying for.

AI has not touched that. If anything it raised the price.

JUDICIAL REFORM: 72% of South Carolina primary voters believe the state’s judicial selection process needs to be restructured.

This heavy public consensus was across both political parties, with only 14% favoring the current legislator-controlled Judicial Merit Selection Commission.

As represented by SCPC’s recent poll, S.C. primary voters want to change how judges are selected in the state — implying they believe there’s potential impropriety in the current process.

[Rocket's Fight @RocketMcNeil]

It's good to see we aren't the only ones concerned with judicial reform in South Carolina. When lawyers select and re-elect judges, it results in barriers to justice for unrepresented parties, as we are seeing https://t.co/SpYpibJ79t
