I think it was @hendrycks who first suggested large datacenters should be located away from population centers, because they could become military targets. Seems sensible.

Oh wow - OpenAI's Greg Brockman was the single largest donor to Trump's super PAC over the past 6 months. I knew OpenAI/Brockman were trying to flex their muscles politically to block all meaningful AI regulations, didn't realize they had literally become Trump's largest donor

Filing: OpenAI President Greg Brockman was the biggest donor to Trump's super PAC in H2 2025, donating $25M; Crypto.com operator Foris DAX donated $20M

President Donald Trump's super political action committee raised $102 million in the second half of 2025, fueled by eight-figure donations …

I wonder if this is related to Trump's recent shift from not caring about AI preemption to heavily pushing it. The OpenAI-Andreessen super PAC can spook rank-and-file members of Congress, but donating to Trump's super PAC would build a stronger relationship w/ Trump, specifically

Dwarkesh makes good points here, but his libertarian default thinking is showing. If powerful counties like the U.S. & China decide it's vitally important for there to be a global minimum tax, there will be. Weak-ass tax havens shouting “but muh sovereignty” won't stop it

Hell yeah! Major props to Gov Hochul for standing strong against pressure from Marc Andreessen and others, signing the RAISE Act! (This is somewhat like SB 53, but stronger)

A lot of the OpenAI boardroom drama has been blamed on EA - but looks like it really was overwhelmingly an Ilya & Mira led effort, with EA playing a minor role and somehow winding up as a scapegoat

Recently, major AI industry players (incl. a16z, Meta, & OpenAI's Greg Brockman) announced >$100M in spending on pro-AI super PACs. This is an attempt to copy a wildly successful strategy from the crypto industry, to intimidate politicians away from pursuing AI regulations.🧵

Little known fact, but putting “attorney client privilege” at the top of an email does not automatically make your email privileged. Also, as a general rule, if you cc your attorney on an email to someone who is not your attorney, the email will not then become privileged.

Google says poor image tuning and Gemini becoming more cautious than intended made the model “overcompensate in some cases, and be over-conservative in others”

Google announced yesterday that it disabled image generation of people in Gemini following criticism about its historical accuracy.

“Guys, there's nothing to worry about regarding alignment - the much-hyped AI system from the large tech company didn't act all bizarre due to a failure of alignment techniques, but instead because the company didn't really test it much for various failure modes” 🤔
