Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

This is the the quote I've been citing a lot recently.

Due diligence is not prohibited in China. But information-gathering that touches sensitive supply chain, labor, market, or business-information questions can be reframed as an illegal foreign investigation https://t.co/iwgr3hfab6

A European Commission proposal could create one of Europe’s largest privacy and national-security risks in decades. https://t.co/7M98GYnPNS

Through DMA enforcement, it may compel Google to hand over sensitive search data about millions of Europeans to third parties, including entities that could be used as fronts by hostile actors.

The privacy risk is serious. The national-security risk is real.

Journalists reporting on China should be aware of ways the authorities may respond to their work. Here's what happened to @ICIJorg and its network following a 2025 exposé on Beijing’s tactics to threaten, coerce and intimidate regime critics overseas. https://t.co/kGXs8PegQC

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

"It all comes down to compute."

@DAlperovitch from @SilveradoPolicy explains:
"The single most important input to winning is compute the processing power used to train and run AI models. Let me say that plainly, because it is defining that everything that congress and this committee do on AI policy. The binding constraint in this competition is not talent, it is not data, and it is not cash. Both the United States and China have talented researchers and financial resources, and we have learned that frontier models trained on generic data routinely outperform smaller models, trained on more specialized inputs. It all comes down to compute."
