I recently changed jobs to be part of a wider, more constructive conversation about how to improve technology's impact on society (vs. debating whether it is good or bad). Looking to work together with like minded folks. More at https://t.co/1lYm1O1MqF.

Social media is one the least meaningful things we do; spending time with family is one of the most. Yet we are spending more time on social media and less with our kids.

It was an honor to lead this fight on behalf of kids, parents, states, creators, and all individuals who would suffer the consequences of an AI moratorium. Until Congress passes federal legislation like my NO FAKES Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, we cannot remove these

Big victory for parents, kids and workers
In a stunning reversal, the Senate voted 99-1 this morning to strip from Trump's big bill a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations. The landslide came after Sen. @MarshaBlackburn abandoned a deal with @tedcruz to support a pared-back, 5-year pause.

Just last year, millions of high school students said they knew a classmate who had been victimized by AI-generated image based sexual abuse. This is why countless organizations are opposing misguided efforts to block state laws on AI. We must stand with them.

The attack in Minnesota is a heartbreaking reminder of what happens when we allow hatred to replace our shared humanity. My heart goes out to the lawmakers and their families during this devastating time. In a free society, disagreement is inevitable. Violence is not. We must

If states canāt regulate AI for 10 years, weāre no better than China. This poison-pill clause DESTROYS federalism. President Trump never campaigned on destroying states rights for AI. We need to protect American jobs and American workers, not replace them with machines.

The Big Beautiful Bill contains a provision banning state & local governments from regulating AI. Itās worse than you think. It would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.

Providing AI with an exemption from state legislation would be dangerous in a world where an increasing number of our kids are being targeted by AI companions, AI generated deepfakes, and AI powered social media algorithms. Protecting our kids is not a partisan issue and we
Incredibly exciting AI language in the @HouseCommerce budget reconciliation text. Includes provisions to modernize government and a moratorium on state-level AI legislation, preventing US innovators from being crushed under an avalanche of regulation.

User-seconds on X is a pretty bad approximation of value of X to the user.
To be clear, there is no explicit rule limiting the reach of links in posts. The algorithm tries (not always successfully) to maximize user-seconds on š, so a link that causes people to cut short their time here will naturally get less exposure. Best to post a

Someone in the pharma business told me companies are freezing hiring and new projects because of uncertainty about tariffs. I don't think Trump grasps how damaging mere uncertainty is.
