Abundance Institute

"I am unwilling to cede my parental decision-making to politicians who don’t know my children and increasingly seem convinced that I am incapable of deciding what’s best for my own family." Our CEO and father of 7 @ckoopman in @WSJ @WSJFreeEx on age verification proposals

Developers must use “nuclear-grade” steel and concrete that can cost up to 50 times more than identical commercial-grade alternatives. Uncontested mandatory hearings, where, by definition, no one is arguing against the application, add ***four to seven months*** to a timeline for no demonstrable safety benefit or changes to the license. @NiconomistLoris @TheNatlInterest

Medical errors are a top 4 cause of death in the United States. AI can help by finding what medical professionals miss. Kal Clark at Zauron Labs is building this capacity. @KevinTFrazier explains, "We're still saying, 'Hey sorry only one radiologist can look at this exam.' And what sticks out to me about your work is the fact that if we didn't call this 'AI'—if we just said there is a second source of review and we left it there—it would be wildly uncontroversial" @lawfare

New transmission lines routinely take a DECADE or more to permit. Here's what we can do about it. @realclearpolicy @NiconomistLoris @C3SolutionsNews @rsi @AFPhq @PacificLegal @ACC_National @ConsEnergyNet

Half of members of the Silent Generation have heard “hardly anything” about AI. Around a quarter (24%) of Boomers likewise report being in the dark. Unfortunatley, most older Americans have never encountered AI use cases tailored to their needs.  @FortuneMagazine @KevinTFrazier

The GUARD Act proposes age verification for chatbots and bans minors from using "AI companions"—but the latter definition ropes in regular chatbots too.  That means kids couldn't use AI math tutors that offer encouraging feedback. And this could all push kids toward less regulated and sketchier platforms.  @taylordbarkley @dcexaminer

Humanity once panicked over: - radios - email - the Walkman - BICYCLES. We should be more skeptical of panic than progress.

@RepDonaldsPress @SenLummis @RepAuchincloss donalds.house.gov/news/documents…

We love this @RepDonaldsPress @SenLummis @RepAuchincloss bill to reduce unnecessary barriers to nuclear by allowing the use of commercial-grade concrete and steel for non-safety structures. This is "a practical step toward making it easier to build more nuclear power in America. This kind of targeted reform helps create a more build-friendly environment for new nuclear projects and moves the country closer to abundant, reliable American energy. This is exactly the kind of policy Congress should advance if it is serious about energy abundance" — @ckoopman, our CEO

It’s honestly insane that we let this much prime land sit here doing nothing but holding cars. There are so many more productive uses for this space!
