In a hotel room in northeast Nigeria, I opened a leading AI chatbot, turned my laptop toward a former Boko Haram commander, and asked if he'd used it. He nodded.
"You type in the question… like 'How can I build a bomb?', and then it tells you how. It is like a human robot. We used it a lot."
My new study on how the jihadist terrorist group Boko Haram uses frontier AI with @CamAISciPolicy, covered today in @nytimes 🧵/9
My quarterfinal calls, keeping it simple:
France 2-1 Morocco ___France's attack has been relentless, but Morocco won't go down easy.
Spain 2-0 Belgium ___Spain's depth wins out over a stretched Belgian squad.
England 1-0 Norway ___Tight game, Kane finds the one moment that matters.
Argentina 2-1 Switzerland ___Messi's still finding a way. I don't bet against him right now.
I'll take a draw on how many I get right.

Hooks into @Plaid , @stripe , @Google Drive & @QuickBooks — with @Vultr-powered reasoning.
Next: live feeds, alerting, multi-analyst workflows.
Thanks to Vultr for the support.
Participating in the Raise Summit and building for the @Vultr track was an incredible experience. It pushed me to think beyond just building AI and focus on creating something practical for real-world financial risk.
I shipped Axios Risk Agent — an AI risk officer that screens FX compliance and covenant risk, triages every case with a 0–100 risk score, provides transparent agent reasoning, and generates audit-ready, evidence-backed memos.
Building with @Vultr inference made it possible to deliver grounded, reliable reasoning for compliance workflows.
Huge thanks to the @Vultr team for supporting builders throughout the track and creating an environment where ideas can move quickly from concept to MVP. 🙏
Also credits to the @cursor_ai team.
Thank to cerebral valley for anchoring the Raise Summit.

Matthew 16:24: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
I keep coming back to this. Following Jesus was never presented as comfortable .. it was presented as a daily choice to put self aside.
Some days that means saying no to something I want. Other days it means showing up when I'd rather not. Either way, the invitation is the same: deny yourself, pick up the cross, follow.
I'm still learning what that looks like in practice.

The UN's first Global Dialogue on AI Governance wrapped up in Geneva this week, alongside a new independent scientific panel of 40 global experts publishing its first report on AI risk.
Meanwhile in the US, the White House is finalizing voluntary standards for frontier AI releases expected any day now.
The pattern I keep seeing in the research: no single country can govern this alone, but every country wants a say in how it's governed.
