In AI 2027, we predicted that AI would take over the world or irreversibly concentrate power.

In AI 2040: Plan A, we've laid out our positive vision for what should happen instead.

Getting a cholesterol screening is a lot less complicated than memorizing all of Scorpion’s finishers. Just call your doctor and ask for a simple blood test.

@OrinKerr Imagine what is possible (even with no fundamental advances) with an improved product that is optimized for a $100/hr or $1000/hr vs the highest-end Claude subscriptions todays.

As @HarmeetKDhillon has stated clearly: "the freedom to exercise one's faith is a core founding principle of our nation." (cc: @CivilRights @SABALegal).

America and Islam are incompatible.

Time for a muslim ban.

@shreyshahi Depends on the definition of AGI. Has it earned at least the same trust you would give the median human?

@SABALegal I do not think it is partisan to note that Kash Patel joins an administration working directly against SABA North America's stated goals and objectives of "Diversity and Inclusion" and "Civil Rights."

Crypto's decentralized immutable code-is-law approach demands perfection not achievable by real human beings. Systems that do work use centralization and mutability to deal with human flaws. And Bybit will likely lobby (centralized) authorities for help in recovering the funds.

People in fintech have known for a longggg time now how hard it is to build, maintain, and fix a ledger.

There is a 0% chance the DOGE team is doing everything correctly. We should all be concerned for the federal ledgers.

Right-wing firebrand Josh Hawley is among those warning Trump to not defy court rulings—contrary to what the VP has controversially suggested.

You can prove it by passing legislation to that effect.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yeah, I can’t emphasize this enough!

The goal of auditing the Social Security Administration is to stop the extreme levels of fraud taking place, so that it remains solvent and protects the social security checks of honest Americans!

That’s it. That’s the goal. End of story.

[Philip Wallach @PhilipWallach]

Congress has seemed MIA over much of this wild last week. But I'm not writing off the institution quite yet. Institutional pride is withered but not entirely dried up. Some legislators (including in the GOP) will fight for their power of the purse.

[Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC]

You can't "simply pass" an executive order. But if Republicans want to perpetuate the principles set forth in certain executive orders, they should translate (so to speak) those executive orders into legislation.

@esrtweet However, "When the President takes measures incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress, his power is at its lowest ebb." (Justice Jackson's concurrence in Youngstown Steel). Is that not the issue addressed here?
