My bio says I work on AGI preparedness, so I want to clarify: We are not prepared. Over the last year, dangerous capability evaluations have moved into a state where it's difficult to find any Q&A benchmark that models don't saturate. Work has had to shift toward measures that

Truly a joy working with Bores and Gounardes this year to get this done. Hard to describe how much of a knock-down, drag-out fight it was all year to get here. The streets of Albany are cold and unforgiving!

i dont know that i've ever seen a policy as mishandled as state AI preemption - knocked out of reconciliation - knocked out of NDAA - very little work done on the Hill on the topic - now an EO, which short circuits actual work on the hill.

Agree with a lot of this from @johncoogan!
Yesterday, Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.5 and it delivered strong results across major benchmarks (SOTA on ARC-AGI, SWE-Bench, Computer Use, etc.). The model performed especially well on coding tasks. Gemini 3 had just set high bars in nearly every benchmark but the one that

I'm very bullish on the power of AI. It can be a force for good. But while this technology advances, too few of our elected leaders understand how it works. I'm a former computer engineer running for Congress to make sure AI works for you, not against you.
