AI can shape public perception, disrupt markets, and steer missiles. The problem isn't that it's too powerful. It's that the same models get applied everywhere. @mcplummer1789 makes the case for clear boundaries in the gray zone for @WarOnTheRocks: https://t.co/WfeXcdIOZt

The U.S. needs a framework for thinking about AI’s use in the gray zone of conflict; if we don’t draw clear lines then other states will. Some additional thoughts in @WarOnTheRocks today (H/T to @bradrcarson for the intro to Walzer): https://t.co/BhNtyxzQFD

Leamer has the inside scoop: The Hun have never forgiven the USA for the HUMILIATION of Versailles. Now they're poised for their GREATEST REVENGE: enabling states to implement child-protecting regulations that MILDLY INCONVENCIENCE the profit models of Nathan's paymasters!

Selling the H200 to China would blow the top off computing restrictions for our biggest competitor on AI, eliminating a bottleneck for China that gives the US a key edge. Here's a look at performance and memory bandwidth of the H200 vs the H20 and Blackwell chips.

NEW: 280 state lawmakers from 43 states are urging Congress to reject AI law preemption in the NDAA. We cannot tie the hands of state lawmakers working to protect kids, workers, and Americans from emerging AI harms. Read the letter: https://t.co/AVuSC1aaCe

A vote in favor of AI pre-emption reminds me of the vote in favor of the Iraq War: a decision that will lead to deep regret and which, in a short time, will be an albatross around the neck of anyone running for office. I would know. When I was in Congress, I supported the Iraq

My initial two thoughts on the would-be EO on preemption of state laws. First, the EO is the result of a failed approach to jam through pre-emption. This EO could have been promulgated months ago. It wasn't, probably because the legal theories behind it are dubious. It's

Schrödinger's Cat is alive... and Pissed.

Heard today at @scientistsorg and @FLI_org ‘s AIx Military Integration round table: “making bad decisions faster doesn’t help you win.” Maybe we should be deemphasizing AI adoption speed at the Pentagon and focusing instead on clearer thinking about AI usage.

The NDAA is about giving American troops the tools and policies they need to fight & win our nation’s wars. Including a poison pill, like a federal moratorium on state AI regulation, isn’t just bad public policy…it jeopardizes our national security. https://t.co/XEt3727JhY

99-1. That's how the Senate voted against AI preemption earlier this year. Now House Majority Leader Scalise is trying to sneak a similar measure into the NDAA at the last minute -- blocking state laws that protect children, artists, and workers. https://t.co/hJXEzkKMdX

It is utterly fascinating to me the number of people making an argument for some type of de facto govt subsidy for the frontier labs by drawing comparisons to (for example) nuclear energy without being willing to accept ANY of the regulatory framework core to that same industry.

I'm an academic. I like capitalism.

The Dept of War needs to be more thoughtful about how it’s defining “trustworthy” AI if it wants to avoid its past acquisition failures. The warfighter definition of trust should take precedence over all others. Period. More thoughts and recs here:

Just a reminder that your inputs (incl. docs) to LLMs are (in most cases) being used for training. As LLMs personalize service (keeping your history), they know a lot about you. This information could be retained indefinitely, used to train LLMs, regurgitated verbatim when

10 years ago today! This work remains as important to our nation as it was then. @mcplummer1789, Diana Banks Thompson, Lloyd Thrall, Dan Madden: visionaries all.

Some days, I think people aren't really paying attention to what is really happening in the world.

OpenAI has provided no evidence it has mitigated the mental health risks associated with its products other than announcing some advisors and reducing sycophancy from a high starting place. Seems premature to be declaring victory and ramping up the porn + emojis again
