Update: I joined @AnthropicAI to lead AI for State & Local Government! aka making government better with Claude :). Last year I met 20K+ voters running for office in SF. One of those was @DanielaAmodei, President & co-founder of Anthropic 🧵

RT @claudeai: You're absolutely right.

congratulations @zoink and @figma team!!! :). sometimes the good guys win!.

very excited to read this. congrats @danwwang !.

RT @andyrapista: The world would be a better place if we had more @Mtclai ‘s who use their time/talent for the benefit of all. What a good….

@audreytang two first projects:.- AI for digital democracy: CA launched advised by @audreyt with language translation / analysis by Claude.- AI for state capacity: heard from a govt IT director yesterday “Claude Code makes my 20 engineers feel like 20”. more soon :).

RT @Madisonkanna: Congrats @Mtclai! SF is so lucky to have you.

RT @thedanigrant: Go @Mtclai!! From running for SF city gov to helping governments do more with AI.

8/ I'm honored to keep working on the mission of fixing government at such a special place. We're hiring:. 1. Work with governments: 2. Forward deployed engineers: DM. And please tag any great civic tech founders & builders using AI!.

7/ AI is the most consequential technology of our time, and Anthropic's mission of safe AI is the real deal, starting from the top:. Daniela is brilliant and also caring, people-centered, and mission-oriented. I've found this rare mix of head + heart across Anthropic!.

6/ By night I still work on SF politics through DCCC, CA Dem Party, and in my Excelsior community — recently helped with Chow Fun supporting 54+ AAPI small businesses. Would love to help SF by day or night @mayorlurie DM anytime.

5/ e.g. Digital democracy: CA launched advised by @audreytang, w language translation / analysis by Claude. State capacity: I heard from a govt IT director yesterday "Claude Code makes my 20 engineers feel like 200." And much more I'll share. .

4/ Daniela said "we care about these problems at Anthropic!! Come help us figure it out.". Most government is state & local (police, fire, DMV, streets, signing up for SNAP, etc.) still operating on a 19th century org model & 20th century tech. Responsible AI can help:

3/ Second, most problems are implementation NOT policy problems: 87 permits for one housing unit, $100B high speed rail to nowhere. When govt doesn't work, ppl lose trust & try to burn it down (sound familiar!?). I ran to help fix this in SF.

2/ In Jan, we went on a walk. I told Daniela about the problems I heard on the campaign trial —. First, people don't feel heard. District 11 is 85% working class immigrants, yet I rarely saw these residents in community meetings or materials translated into Cantonese/Spanish.

RT @davidshor: Adding this incredible chart from @DKThomp to the mix. There has been an enormous decline in in-person socialization that h….

Congrats on the launch @apartovi and thanks for leading on tech for democracy! 🙏🏻.

Starstruck today meeting AI godfather @Yoshua_Bengio today in Montréal and discussing his @TIME op-ed below and AI policy. Thanks for your time and contributions to humanity Professor!

Erik is the single biggest cheerleader / force multiplier for everyone he knows. He somehow does this at scale (group chats, podcasts, etc) and range (standup comedy, freestyle rap, spirituality). Can’t begin to describe the positive impact he’s had on me — as an investor &.
