Today I'm launching Silverman Strategy Group.

Technology, policy, and comms are colliding faster than ever.

That’s what this firm is built for.

@sriramk @saranormous The American people very much lack trust that the AI transition will benefit them/their families.

To be fair, nobody has given them much evidence to the contrary.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@levie @saranormous All that will matter is whether the value prop of AI swings toward regular people.

Which means building that case (especially for non-technical uses) is crucial right now.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@saranormous + presented by the right messengers, with the right framing.

Years of Dario/Sam telling people jobs were gone forever & then industry calling everyone who disagreed with data centers a CCP plant leaves a big hole to dig out of!

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

Most of the buzz will be about the contentious amendment debates... so props to @PeteModi for highlighting the major policy changes in this year's NDAA (including of course Sec. 818!)

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@eastdakota Any way to tell how much of the change is due to power users?

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@jyoti_mann1 Time to see what Alex is made of!

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@connorobrienNH @LeoShane A very confident 11:22pm.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@dee_bosa Massive change, but not a distributed one as of now -- the amount of internet users who even know the term headless is miniscule!

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@MattZeitlin And I don’t think that number is going down any time soon…

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@flowersslop OpenClaw for normies is going to break brains.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@packyM Would be great to show-off some even less technical use cases for Codex as well!

Important reminder about the power of Wilt.

@OpenAI Token consumption about to go crazy.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@danprimack And how that result impacts the greater space ecosystem, which is propped up in many ways by Elon…

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@AnthropicAI Feel like we still continue to underrate the cybersecurity nightmares around the corner.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@JasonBotterill I’m afraid the token screwing has barely even begun.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

I’m not sure there’s a more important graph in the world right now.

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

“The public has swung 49 points against data centers in just nine months, underscoring the heightened political salience of the facilities and the AI industry that they embody.”

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@DrPhiltill Part of the problem is that I think the American people have 0% faith it will be "10,000 business people competing."

For many, it looks like the choice between a half-dozen party bosses or a half-dozen billionaires.

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@pmarca How long until it is #1?

[Sam Silverman @SamMSilverman]

@Noahpinion You're telling me Xi doesn't look at his polling splits with 18-34 year-old men (broken down by party affiliation) in Guangdong before making decisions??
