Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178

Anthropic, OpenAI and Demis are all in favour of preparing a coordinate pause of frontier AI development.

Skate to where the puck will be people, not where it is now. This is a fast puck.

AI will never replace humanity

[ASTRO @ASTRO_org]

Radiation oncology is facing a serious payment crisis, and today, nearly 100 #RadOncs are on Capitol Hill pushing for change.

They’re advocating for Medicare payment reform, fixing a broken #priorauth system, and stronger federal investment in radiation research. Join them in advocating by using ASTRO's convenient grassroots tool. #ASTROAdvocacy

"we need to ensure that key decisions about AI are made via democratic processes and with egalitarian principles, and not just made by AI labs."

I agree!

When is Greg Brockman giving $25 million to the pro-regulation side?

When is Chris Lehane spending half his time to establish safety?

Or are these principles just theater for your employees so they don't ask why your Global Affairs team and Leading the Future are trying to trample anyone who advocates for safety?

Over the years, @PeteButtigieg has had many viral media moments, but I think this might be his best.

It's the most authentically angry and impassioned that I have seen him, and that's what voters who are banging their heads against a wall about the state of affairs want to see.

Just a reminder that DOGE failed at every possible level:

* At the micro level, they misread, misled and straight up lied about many of the 'savings'. They'd announce '500m saved!' and it would be some contract where the money was 98% already spent and already wasn't being renewed.
* At the macro level, they didn't impact spending at all. The government spent more in 2025 than 2024.
* At the institutional level, they didn't even convince the GOP that deficits are a problem worth caring about. The GOP only signature bill in 2025 exploded the deficit by trillions of dollars.
* At a personal level, Elon got run out of town with his tail between his legs. The most notable public facts about the Cracked Coders are that one of them was a mini-Hitler, one was called 'big balls', and none of them bothered to learn how the government actually works before they set it on fire.

They gutted a bunch of important institutions, fired whole departments at random, decimated medical research funding, killed millions of people dependent on USAID, and still failed at every possible level.

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.

Been a documentary for awhile, mate

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You have no idea who this woman was. You have no idea what she believed. You have no idea what an actual investigation might show. A 37-year-old American citizen was killed. Her 6-year-old son has been orphaned. Her family and friends are going through the worst moment of their lives. And all you can do is call her a "deranged leftist"?

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

We’ll take it down when something better comes out.

[Burgess Everett @burgessev]

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Might be the most ironic statement in history

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Donald Trump won’t say he wants Ukraine to win the war?

I thought he would at least pretend….

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

He’s really doubling down on the crazy uncle vibe this evening.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
