Tech Risk, Cybersecurity, and Digital Security.

@spacerog @HockeyInJune @vyrus001 @Gillis57 @HushCon The math doesn't work for researchers. Here is the most glaring example I've found where disclosure increases risk. (Btw, the collision arg holds no weight either.)

@AndyMasley @alexklinger @TomWright165389 Seems like your tweet he quoted has been deleted. What did it say?

[Pete @SpireSec]

@robinhanson Are you suggesting that there really hasn't been a significant increase in data center construction projects in the last year or two?

My son just posed a lovely question: What piece or pieces of media -- movie, song, book, TV show, article, poem, etc -- has really changed how you think? (How you think about life, about the world, or just how you think.)

Would love to hear your answer.

35% chance the prediction market bubble pops (or is popped), but nowhere to bet on it.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

22% chance the bubble pops. https://t.co/qTwZyuFzmH

@emollick @BrendanNyhan Just FYI: most of these "tells" come straight out of Warriner's, so those of us trained on it, sound like AI.

@n3lson @emollick If this ain't ai generated, nothing is...

[Pete @SpireSec]

@chr1sa @paulg Seems like a whole bunch of folks are perfectly fine without "intelligence." There's a surplus of it available already, isn't there?

[Pete @SpireSec]

@EricTopol @PNASNews Isn't over 50% a different kind of fail?

[Pete @SpireSec]

@max_spero_ @MushtaqBilalPhD Seems like the pertinent measure would be false negatives, wouldn't it? What is pangram's current false negative rate?

[Pete @SpireSec]

This would make for a great @bryan_caplan bet...

I broke my own rule to never post about AI detection as it is fraught in many ways.

The problem is that if you use AI a lot, you know AI writing on sight, which makes the difficulty of objectively proving that AI use to others very frustrating

[Pete @SpireSec]

@emollick Your level of confidence (and intensity) here is very unsettling.

@JCColtin Not sure if you are saying that they made an error or that it was their fault that you made an error.

New data from @OpenAI Economic Research: at least 4 million people used ChatGPT in March 2026 to help plan, start, run, or grow a business – a conservative lower-bound estimate.

It’s an early sign of how AI can help more people access capabilities and expertise that were previously expensive, specialized, or out of reach.

This is not just a startup story.

Entrepreneurship in ChatGPT has strong activity across retail, professional services, trades, hospitality, health, and more.

@bethan7474 @jessesingal Isn't this a watered down version of beauty and the beast?

[Pete @SpireSec]

@mattjay @WeldPond Very interesting research. Thanks for the pointer!

@Birdyword @mattyglesias Yo, don't go knocking 3d printing! 🤣

@ATabarrok That's nothing compared to when that box click is legally binding.
