Our vision ensures that our tools, however powerful, remain servants of the permanent things that make us human.

Further thoughts on Dwarkesh's "Thoughts on AI progress (Dec 2025)." I captured this while reading the essay. I do agree that continual learning will be a big unlock, but there are several things that I found myself reacting to vehemently. They sparked these thoughts: 1. Humans

On self-driving cars: "In medicine, when a treatment shows this level of benefit, we stop the trial early. Continuing to give patients the placebo becomes unethical. When an intervention works this clearly, you change what you do. In driving, weâre all the control group."
I have a guest essay in @nytimes today about autonomous vehicle safety. I wrote it because Iâm tired of seeing children die. Done right, we can eliminate car crashes as a leading cause of death in the United States @Waymo recently released data covering nearly 100 million

I would love to see a conference on the economic model post AI diffusion.
What if the most dangerous thing about AI isnât that it kills us⌠but that it quietly kills capitalism itself â and weâre all too traumatised by the 20th century to even dare imagine what comes next without screaming âcommunism!â? Eric Weinstein just went nuclear in a 2:38

Social media tends to frame AI debate into two caricatures: (A) Skeptics who think LLMs are doomed and AI is a bunch of hype. (B) Fanatics who think we have all the ingredients and superintelligence is imminent. But if you read what leading researchers actually say (beyond the
One point I made that didnât come across: - Scaling the current thing will keep leading to improvements. In particular, it wonât stall. - But something important will continue to be missing.

The more you feel the AGI the more you should care about mitigating AI tail risk. We just want the transition to go well. Just like how the backlash to Nucleus Genomics came from people who believe in genetic screening and don't want one malign company to setback the tech for
I received an immense amount of hate for this tweet; this surprised me. But one thing didnât surprise me: none of that negativity came from people whom I associate with the AI safety or âdoomerâ communities. On its face, this *should* surprise you. If you had no contextâif you

We're proud to partner with @ENERGY and the Trump Administration on the Genesis Mission. By combining DOE's unmatched scientific assets with our frontier AI capabilities, we'll support American energy dominance as well as advance and accelerate scientific productivity.

These guys are Americans. Their president is an Iraq war veteran. Tech folks surely understand why this kind of thing happens?

Governor DeSantis is correct. States must be able to regulate the tools of AI that could severely impact our kids, our families, our constitutional rights, and our security. We already made the mistake of allowing social media companies to destroy our childrenâs mental health
Stripping states of jurisdiction to regulate AI is a subsidy to Big Tech and will prevent states from protecting against online censorship of political speech, predatory applications that target children, violations of intellectual property rights and data center intrusions on

Music and song in the liturgical setting are a form of prayer, which draw us into the beauty that lifts us up to God and unites our hearts in praise. May #SaintCecilia, patroness of music and musicians, whose memorial we celebrate today, sustain the mission of choirs and choral

This was super interesting. Highly recommend.
After a night spent hanging out in the Phoenix airport (thanks for nothing, American Airlines), after a week of travel and non-stop news, I needed a motivational boost. Maybe you need one, too. Try this prompt, in whichever chatbot you use most: *** If you had to imagine a

We canât ram through by force a policy that shapes the future of our nation in a profound way. Letâs figure this out together and forge a way forward that would make our Framers proud.
President Trump is right to call for a federal framework on artificial intelligence that protects kids, prevents woke censorship, and assures American victory in the AI race with China. The conservative movement must deliver AI standards crafted with the deliberation and

The world flies Sikorsky helicopters to this day. We have the worldâs most trusted brands.  Igor Sikorskyâs helicopters are safe enough to fly in a Fedora. If our Grandparents could figure out pairing innovation with safety as our competitive advantage, we can too.

AI is making bipartisanship great again. This legislation was sponsored by: Jim Banks (R-IN), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Tom Cotton (R-AK), Chris Coons (D-DE), Dave McCormick (R-PA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Amazon and Microsoft are backing legislation that would prioritize domestic chip supply over exports to Chinaâputting them at odds with Nvidia, their key supplier. The Gain AI Act would restrict chipmakers from exporting to embargoed countries until US demand is met, with

Itâs nice to see this kind of thoughtful public positioning from one of the worldâs top AI leaders. More evidence that these ideas are not a part of some grand leftist conspiracy but a rational response to whatâs happening in the industry right now.
We can't build superintelligence just for superintelligence's sake. It's got to be for humanity's sake, for a future we actually want to live in. It's not going to be a better world if we lose control of it.
