🧵 The NRC has been operating an illegal nuclear blockade for 50 years and a recent lawsuit might finally bring it to an end. Buckle up...

A new summit for a new generation of nuclear.

Join us in Southern California next year.

[Abundance Institute @abundanceinst]

We have big news. We’re partnering with @generalmatter to co-host Generation National Nuclear Summit!

Join us on January 20 and 21 in Southern California.

America needs clean, American-made energy that can bring costs down and end our reliance on foreign imports. That means a new generation of nuclear. We're bringing together the founders, builders, investors, regulators, and policymakers who will make it happen.

And we’re excited to announce that Chairman of the @NRCgov Ho K. Nieh and former U.S. Secretary of State @JohnKerry will be speaking at the summit!

This week @jessebryan flew to Rome and asked Claude one question in front of the Colosseum: "Who is God?"

Its answer? "It depends who you ask."

Your AI already has a religion. It's just not yours.
Here's how to fix that in under 60 seconds. 👇

The right to compute (and the importance of access) is bigger than any party or the feelings of the electorate at any given time.

There's many takes about AI after the election, but we really don't want to ever be in a place where the government is deciding who gets compute.

Imagine if you had to work 6 hours to afford just one hour of artificial light. That was how much it took in 1800.

By 1880, that dropped to 15 minutes.

By 1950, just 8 seconds.

Today? About 0.2 seconds.

Light was once an expensive luxury. Now, it's so affordable that we barely think twice about flipping a light switch.

That's the extraordinary story of human progress. Innovation has made things that were once out of reach accessible to billions of people.

And it's a powerful reminder of how much better life can get.

@mattwridley, author of The Rational Optimist, explains why we have good reason to be optimistic about the future.

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on for several months: Fear Not, A Podcast about Faith and AI.

We’re just getting started here, but I’m joining @ckoopman @jessebryan and @mikeyanderson for weekly roundtables, 1:1 interviews, and more.

We are trying new things regularly and excited to take on the most challenging issues facing the faith community and the larger world from emerging technology.

Follow us at @FearNotPodcast and listen to our first few episodes.

Potential 2028 Presidential Candidates if they were bald. Who wears the scalp best?

[Fear Not Podcast @FearNotPodcast]

Does AI have a soul, or are we teaching it to sound like it does?

@MikeCosper @jessebryan , @ckoopman, and @mikeyanderson unpack the debate around Anthropic, the Vatican, and AI personhood.

In this episode:

-Claude’s Constitution and the beliefs being built into AI.
- Why human dignity can’t depend on how smart or useful we are.
- The line between using a tool and turning it into an idol.
- Why people of faith should help build the future, not sit it out.

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson My claim is a narrow response to Peggy Noonan. Again, it seems like reading can be hard for you. Care to explain the gap between the frontier labs’ words and actions?

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson Brother. You linked a letter you didn’t engage and a Substack making a different claim. “Semi-ironic” doesn’t fix that issue for you. It’s just more evidence of you not quite understanding the words you’re using and reading.

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson You want answers from a knucklehead?

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson Then why link a letter you didn’t engage and a Substack arguing a different claim?

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson Do you like reading?

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@Surveil__Lance @neil_chilson What?

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

@KipMock @sthenc Let’s go!!

[Christopher Koopman @ckoopman]

Almost everything you said is wrong. Life expectancy did not fall for seventy years, wages did not collapse, and the “people got shorter” claim fails once you account for selection bias. Were things perfect? Far from it. But don’t confuse transition costs for permanent ruin. Would you have preferred the Industrial Revolution never happened?

You asked, we delivered. The @JoinFAI Field Guide to the Tribes of Silicon Valley is live now.

27 tribes, a few easter eggs, and a 3-minute quiz (just for fun).
