The perceived winner-take-all AGI race means companies are increasingly keeping their highly-powerful AI models out of the eyes of the public—which means "unseen dangers to society could emerge and evolve without oversight or warning shots."

AI companies are "deploying AI models within their own organizations, and it's likely they'll soon find it strategically essential to reserve their most powerful future models for internal use," posting a "serious threat to society at large," they write.

The Fifth Circuit correctly ruled that Trump cannot invoke the Alien Enemies Act because we are not at war and we haven't been "invaded." But besides Trump's abuse of the law, the law itself is a dangerous anachronism, as I write here:

"The Alien Enemies Act is one of the worst laws still in force in the United States."

President Trump thought President Putin had friends, and that he was one of them. President Putin has interests, not friends, and Russia's interests trumped America's. Now Trump has even backed down on a ceasefire. My take:
time.com
"Putin is still milking Trump’s fanboy affection. He was the big winner today because he didn't have to compromise."
