Western Chemicals is looking for an elite Mechanical Engineer RIGHT NOW!! Help us make the world’s cheapest fuels & chemicals right here in the USA!
AI sovereignty debates dodge their own conclusion. If you really think frontier AI is critical and the US can't be trusted, there is only one path: build it yourself, whatever it takes.
So let's drop the sovereignty theatre and look at how we'd pull off the middle power project.
I believe in this publication and concept. I will do everything I can to get it both fully funded and hire full time editors it deserves.
If you like my thinking, the articles this publication publishes, or the community of thinkers and doers it brings together please donate or subscribe.
When people visit Pilgrim they are noticeably shocked by how simple it has been for us to obtain biological agents.
This is a major step in the right direction
Thrilled to announce that @JoinFAI and @IFP will be teaming up this summer to host a no holds barred weekend hackathon devoted to pushing the envelope on how AI might reshape the future of the Washington think tank

Announcing the Western Chemicals $4M Pre-Seed Fundraise!
We are now building the WORLD’S FIRST vertically integrated duckweed-to-ethanol plant capable of producing 10,000+ gallons of fuel-grade ethanol annually.
Wastewater-to-fuel at planetary scale starts NOW!
Magnifica humanitas should be seen as a rallying cry for Christians to recapture the intellectual center of a critical technology. AI has always been a thinly disguised exercise in moral philosophy. In this sense, the terrain is new but it is fundamentally a Christian territory.
Fuels, chemicals, and plastics are a $6T market that powers EVERY car, plane, factory, and product in modern reality.
Today, they come from oil refineries, or from corn ethanol plants that burn through HALF of America's corn supply.
@DiscipulusVent founder @jared_western & the Western Chemicals team are building biochemical refineries that turn wastewater into the world's cheapest fuels to REINDUSTRIALIZE America🇺🇸
My central takeaway from the @AmericanAffrs essay by @hamandcheese and myself:
Chinese industrial policy for AI emphasizes open-sourcing, micro-firms, and immediate diffusion. The party seems content to promote competition between provinces and specialization in other cases
We haven't begun to imagine what state policy re AI will look like in the coming years--in the US or China.
Our examination of Chinese industrial policy goes into the details of their competitive orchestration, which is very far from top-down direction and nationalization
In @commonplc, I reviewed @ssankar and @Madeline_Zimm's new book : Mobilize
The book rightly argues that the state should learn best practices from firms.
But security in the 21st century requires more: a new synthesis between public and private interests. I'll explain 🧵: /1
It is clear, though, that the synthesis will rely on people like @ssankar , alongside the heroes of the book (Knudsen, Packard), has demonstrated an interest in turning his talents towards American greatness.
For what comes next, mobilizing is a starting place /6
