A MUST listen. @karaswisher knows Silicon Valley like few others. Listen and learn from her perspective. I got to Silicon Valley in the 80’s. Compared to the David Packards and those who built Silicon Valley, today’s #BigTech leaders absolutely need some regulatory guard rails.

For years, big tech operated with no rules. Will new regulations force change? On this week’s On Shifting Ground, @RaySuarezNews speaks with @karaswisher about the great con behind #BigTech innovation: https://t.co/Wm2QrH8oMi

We URGENTLY need a federal law forbidding AI from impersonating humans The night before I testified in the US Senate in May, 2023, the late philosopher Daniel Dennett sent me a manuscript that he called “counterfeit people”. It was published a few days later in The Atlantic.

I’m rooting for the girl. Or, more accurately, I’m rooting for the powerhouse woman who owns the Seahawks, who has taken an active role in building a winner, improving a culture, fended off many male owners of NFL teams who’ve been pressuring her to sell, and donated hundreds of

Finally. A framework that optimizes the domestication of AI. It harmonizes all the relevant issues. Taiwan nails it. Please read.

@SteveCase Thanks for your work in the 1990s to get America online. I think we all miss Web 1.0 in many ways.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”

@dekai123 @Clubhouse Great news. @dekai123 your book is clearly a MUST READ. ( https://t.co/ZbgYbW78zN) We are at a crucial time in history as our lives get essentially fused with AI. Your expertise and perspective is much needed as we all seek guidance on finding the wisest path forward. Appreciate

CIA can't operate without it. Pentagon can't function without it. And Wall Street can't trade without it. Yet most people have no idea about what Palantir does. How the Government let a $300 Billion surveillance company track you everywhere 🧵

@operationdanish Great Job. A MUST WATCH to understand the avenues of domesticating AI. More importantly, why we need global standards and operational standards NOW. Both Generative AI and Agentic AI are upon us. Technology in the 1980s-1990s used standards-bodies for interoperability and

Are we going to pretend $750/hour law firms are going to be business as usual in the AI age? I just used Grok Deep Research to draft a simple contract. Took 15 minutes. Would have cost $2,000 with a lawyer. When I sent it to my attorney to review, his response was "looks good"

We support you. We appreciate you. But. you must take a new approach on something specific, but important. Wear a suit when you come to the White House. Anything else is poor taste. Ukrainians deserve you respecting this formality. It conveys respect and professionalism. Thank

I think Elon Musk should be expelled from the British Royal Society. Not because he peddles conspiracy theories and makes Nazi salutes, but because of the huge damage he is doing to scientific institutions in the US. Now let's see if he really believes in free speech.
