America's digital agora. A special place where the realists, iconoclasts, and visionaries meet to answer one deceptively simple question: How do we control AI?


A GOP revolt over AI is taking shape dlvr.it/TT1xFL

It's gonna be a rough few months on tech twitter while everyone realizes AI is now a DC thing and not an SF thing



"The Founders built a system on the consent of the governed. For a century, a competing tradition argued that consent was a fiction best left unexamined. A twenty-dollar AI subscription has now made the specialized class optional." Find a link to @DataRepublican's latest 👇

Some friends of mine, @DissidentClint and @RyanMNeuhaus, are launching a new outlet focused on AI. They've been patient in asking me to write something for it, and I finally took them up on the offer:

We're living in a moment wherein conversation about AI is oftentimes shrouded by hyper-optimism and hyper-doomerism. @DissidentClint and I believe that is a problem. And a problem worth solving. So, how do you start to solve that problem? By creating pragmatic, thoughtful debate. Clint and I are neither starry-eyed accelerationists nor paralyzed boomers (but we're happy to host the debate between them). And we're the kind of people that stick to our guns and don't take slow for an answer. The Left wants to use AI for its usual agenda: scapegoating the right to excuse mass redistribution. Technocrats want it for unholy attempts at transcendence. Meanwhile, our enemies would use it to surveil, subvert, and slowly dissolve America. The Right currently has no answer. Instead, we're busy squabbling between the poles of EXIT and RETVRN. Hyperbolically speaking, the debate is like, let's either "blow up all the computers in a Butlerian Jihad" or "use them to build a network state on a shipping container in the North Sea." These are unrealistic and ridiculous outcomes. What's at stake is higher than "green line going up" and if Americans don't find a solution, the Right will be blamed when obsolescent human beings are put out to pasture by the Left's insidious designs. It's time for a new vision that keeps our foot on the gas, but drives in the right direction. If you're ever interested in publishing a piece on @AmericanIntel_, don't hesitate to reach out.
