  Jensen Huang wants to sell more chips to China because that's good for his business. But American compute should go to American labs. Strengthening export controls on AI chips and manufacturing equipment is a national security imperative to keep the US ahead of China. [image]

  Important piece in the NYT today from @deanwball & @BuchananBen. Mythos found zero-day vulnerabilities in every single browser and operating system, full stop. Imagine if China had reached that capability before we had the chance to patch our systems. [image]

  Today, @BuchananBen and I co-author a piece in the New York Times with a simple message: While we disagree on plenty, we believe AI has national security implications which deserve a careful and bipartisan government response. We can (and should) have partisan fights about all [i…

  @xeophon @BuchananBen I struggle to imagine the mechanism by which an audit of a company would “gut” open source. I'm a pretty ardent supporter of open-weight models but it's also not reasonable to use open-weight as a reason for reflexive opposition to all AI regulation.

  @deanwball @BuchananBen How do you ensure that this doesn't gut (American) open source AI? Regulations massively benefit the incumbents [image]

  This article should serve as a wake-up call for both policymakers and the general public. AI capabilities have been growing fast; models already exist today that could substantially aid hackers in conducting a cyberattack on critical infrastructure; other risks (like bio) are

  Clear article on bipartisan consensus, with some mandatory chyna hypocrisy. We all know American-Israeli AI ambitions, luridly advertised at the start of this war in Iran, for example. I'll be plain, these people shouldn't «control A.I.'s future» if humanity is to ever be free. […

  Dean calls for mandated audits of AI company's safety claims. I think this is quite reasonable. I also think it's secondary to using AI (and non-AI methods) to secure the wider world. It's simply too easy to build a near-frontier model. No matter how solid the safety
