Two big misunderstandings here: 1) it’s cheap heat to say “what we cannot capture, we should destroy” when you have no plausible path to either 2) Christians play for different stakes. You can run a program, write a book that God intended to save one particular person
I was on a panel with @McCormickProf last fall at the Touchstone Conference, and a question came up about elite institutions. He talked about how we can infiltrate and capture elite institutions, citing as an example the James Madison Program at Princeton, where Robbie George

Then do a narrow preemption blocking the specific CA policies that are so objectionable. Don‘t impose a ten year moratorium on Florida (and other like-minded states) that takes away our sovereignty.
@RonDeSantis Respectfully, Governor DeSantis, you are opening the door to let Gavin Newsom and Zohran Mamdani run America’s AI marketplace and decimate our nation’s ability to counter Chinese advances in the rising AI Cold War. Blue state lawmakers in just 4 big liberal states (CA, NY, IL,

I haven't seen one right-wing attack on R. George the last few days that wasn't that of a cowardly ingrate.

Robert George & his donor base funded the post-doc where Wolfe wrote his Christian Nationalism book. And Wolfe continues to publicly identify himself with Robert George’s James Madison Program, as he did on that book’s back cover.
I’m glad that Robert George is gone from Heritage. He and his donor base sent thousands of Heritage Americans to die in an unjust foreign war. Tens of thousands wounded, disabled, mentally scarred; thousands of children left without fathers and mothers. All the while Robbie plays

Today we at @OpenAI are releasing GPT-5.1-Codex-Max, which can work autonomously for more than a day over millions of tokens. Pretraining hasn't hit a wall, and neither has test-time compute. Congrats to my teammates @kevinleestone & @mikegmalek for helping to make it possible!

Oliver is utterly correct.
This is utterly backwards. Contemporary edgy righties benefited from an ascendant conservatism, whereas Robbie, one of the smartest and savviest people I've ever met, spoke out over decades of progressive hegemony and took constant risks for many young dissident scholars as well.

It is worth reflecting on the fact that someone in almost every human faction will think like this and act on it. It is also worth noting that many Christian nationalists have so corrupted the Gospel that some think this way.
AI is the most powerful tool the world has ever seen. It’s a blessing of common grace that should be used by Christians to take dominion.

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
News: House Republican leaders are searching for a legislative vehicle they could attach language to that would effectively ban state regulation of artificial intelligence. More from @JakeSherman, @BenBrodyDC and @Dareasmunhoz: https://t.co/3sGJrRGggN

Guys, they’ve been saying this for years, but you’ve been writing it off as just an online phenomenon, when literally that is the chief place young people receive intellectual formation! I have been trying to tell you since ***2018***

Yeah, AI progress is totally, definitely stalling... Look at MathArena Apex. GPT-5.1 scored 1%. Gemini 3 scored 23%. That is a >20x jump on one of the hardest reasoning tasks we have. But sure, keep your head in the sand...

I had access to Gemini 3. It is a very good, very fast model. It also demonstrates the change from chatbot to agent.

Please take a look at my friend Adam’s great new essay on political polarization!
What is political polarization? This Primer explains four types and how they're measured. Some forms reflect healthy democratic disagreement. Others corrupt our judgment. https://t.co/Tb9tctTY8U

People ask me why I wrote on Catholic integralism and not Christian nationalism. The reason is the latter isn’t very intellectually interesting, as this pro-CN clip amply demonstrates.
