For 251 years, we have fought for and defended our Nation’s freedom. 🇺🇸

From Washington’s militias to today’s premier fighting force, the U.S. Army has adapted to stay ahead.

We’re just getting started.

"I am excited to be the bearer of good news: AI is not going to start a nuclear war anytime soon. I do, however, also have bad news: AI is making it more likely that humans will start a nuclear war. And, if we want to avoid that outcome, we should focus on mitigating real risks, resisting incentives that steer us toward the tropes."

My latest article, for @ai_frontiers_ on how the incentives have skewed the discussion, diplomacy, and research to sci fi myths, to the detriment of the field and global security

“Before, studying structures with cryo-EM was like trying to look at paintings in a dark gallery. With Theia, it’s like the lights have been turned on for the first time.” – Holger Müller, @UCBerkeley professor and LBNL Biosciences Area faculty scientist
