Joined January 2024
Montana has set the gold standard for a freedom-first strategy to innovation in the 21st-century.🪙 Securing the Right to Compute is essential for any state looking to guide the economy of the future.👊 Thanks @abundanceinst for the shoutout! Read more & check out our Right to
Thanks to Montana’s Right to Compute Act, government actions that would restrict lawful use or ownership of “computational resources” must be narrowly tailored and demonstrably necessary to serve a compelling government interest. @taylordbarkley in @JmsMadisonInst

The AI business model isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about control. As cognition is routed through cloud infrastructure owned by a few firms, power shifts toward those who own the “architecture of thinking,” reshaping expertise, universities, class structure, and political

From @WSJopinion: What critics of AI overlook is the enduring lesson that when tools change, human creativity doesn’t shrink. It expands, writes Brian J. Gross. https://t.co/yy4guDuc8m

It was a pleasure to join @MattPerault for this @a16z podcast along with my old friend Blair Levin to chat about what America can learn about modern AI policy from the past debate over the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which I was actively a part of. We specifically look at
If you squint at today’s AI policy debates, you may just see the 1996 Telecom Act in the distance. I had a great time sitting down with @AdamThierer @RSI and Blair Levin @CSIS to hear their reflections on what that landmark deal in tech policy teaches us about building a national

How to regulate AI deserves debate in Congress. New York’s bill would stifle this debate by setting rules that could affect other states. Instead of regulating technology they don’t understand, how about lawmakers in Albany keep the streets safe? https://t.co/90bSiHW7NW

Hochul can save the state—and U.S.—from stifling regulation.

here is my @RSI rapid response analysis of President Trump's new executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” I argue that, until Congress acts to develop a more harmonized approach to federal-state AI governance, this new EO can help

This is one of the cleverest stories in startups. For years we'd been worrying about how to finance the airliner. Then Boom realized that if they could build jet engines, they could build gas turbines, and fund the airliner with the profits.
A new product, a new customer, a new financing! Introducing Superpower: a 42MW natural gas turbine optimized for AI datacenters, built on our supersonic technology. Superpower launches with a 1.21GW order from @CrusoeAI Backstory 🧵👇

there are deranged and dangerous people in the "stop AI" movement. It is frightening to think about what these disturbed individuals might do next in their cult-like quest to stop progress. Read the latest from @DrTechlash in @techdirt:

Reserving full judgment until I see all the details of Florida's new AI control plan, but just from the summaries I’m seeing, it looks like lots of bureaucratic mandates, Nanny State paternalism, and the potential for sweeping economic regulation and potentially even price
Our Citizens Bill of Rights for AI will ensure protections for individuals, children, parents and businesses regarding artificial intelligence. This includes protections for ratepayers from utility increases, for taxpayers against AI subsidies, and for local communities against

Your right to compute applies to privacy, blockchain, AI, and more things to come.
Nobody expects China or Iran to protect privacy. But as seen in the European debate over chat control, even nominally free countries are becoming intrusive when it comes to the digital world. https://t.co/f26h7ljd6H

important new study from @econwags on the opportunity costs of an AI patchwork: "$600 Billion AI Abundance Dividend from Federal Preemption of State Laws"
🚨 New data: Federal preemption of state AI laws isn't just about reducing red tape. It’s a $600 BILLION fiscal opportunity. By harmonizing regulations, the U.S. could secure a massive Abundance Dividend through 2035 via increased productivity and federal tax receipts. Link ⬇️

important new project from @ProgressChamber on state-level AI policy. Worth checking out 👉
NEW: Today we launch the State AI Leadership (SAIL) Project, a new initiative to help blue and purple states capture the benefits of AI innovation. Blue states are at the forefront of AI lawmaking, with progressive states like California, Illinois, New York, and Colorado

🇪🇺 Something is finally happening! EU is: - scaling down the GDPR (data privacy laws) - watering down the AI Act (more like AI Ban), and - finally removing the Cookie Banner laws This gets us a bit closer to the top eu/acc ideas being reached https://t.co/fU2jmU91xL
My hope is, they repeal all of Thierry's evil work now he's gone: - Repeal the DMA (aka Annoy Europeans Act) - Repeal theDSA (aka the EU Censorship Act) - Repeal the AI Act (aka the EU AI Ban)

"Regulation obviously has a critical role in protecting people and the environment, but the sheer volume, over-specificity and sometimes ambiguity of those same regulations is now actively working against those goals! We’re unintentionally blocking the very things that would
My lobbyists are very nervous about me posting this, but over-regulation is working against us all. The costs are astronomical to us all, but hidden. So, I'm taking a risk, and sharing my stories from Charm and Revoy: https://t.co/UsaltST5gJ
