Governing done right - fiscally responsible, still investing in people and making everybody pay their fair share. And he makes government look cool again. 1/

@hgmonheit on how the courts are blocking the structural economic change people deserve, and why this needs to be front and center for our agenda.

[Melat Kiros for Congress, CO-1 @MelatKirosCO]

For folks who think this is an exaggeration, AI has already figured out how to lie, to resist being shut down, and to escape testing grounds.

If AI achieves super intelligence w/o guardrails in place, we’ll be as significant to them as ants are to us.

We are not alarmed enough.

Pope Leo condemned capital punishment, calling for its abolition in the US just as President Trump's administration moved to broaden methods of execution for federal inmates https://t.co/sEtNtgm4Kc

This is awesome, but also NO MAYOR HAS EVER VISITED HOUSING COURT?!??!!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments.

I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support.

Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time.

In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard — directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

Interesting: NY bill would prohibit AI chatbots from giving legal advice.

SB 7263, which passed the Internet & Technology Committee last week, says:

"A proprietor of a chatbot shall not permit such chatbot to provide any substantive response, information or advice, or take any action, which, if taken by a natural person: ... would violate ... law prohibiting the practice or appearance as an attorney-at-law without being admitted and registered ...."

The bill provides a private right of action with mandatory attorneys' fees.

A gentleman I’m sure is well-intentioned has taken the time to tell me my physical library and reading habits are “inefficient” ways of going about the work of study scholarship. Maybe it’s time to re-up my essay on the importance of doing things badly/inefficiently.

This is deeply, deeply concerning but AI alignment folks have been ringing the alarms about this for years…the question for those working on AI + governance is “what now”?

[ControlAI @ControlAI]

"It was ready to kill someone, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

Daisy McGregor, UK policy chief at Anthropic, a top AI company, says it's "massively concerning" that Anthropic's Claude AI has shown in testing that it's willing to blackmail and kill in order to avoid being shut down.
