🎙️NEW POD: FIXING BUGS IN DEMOCRACY What if democracy worked more like open-source software? @jessaroo speaks with @takahiroanno, an AI engineer and sci-fi writer who just won a seat in Japan's parliament. youtu.be/A_S6GP5-lBQ

Quadratic voting just went live at the federal level in Germany. 🇩🇪 @SPRIND collected 27,707 submissions from citizens about what should change in the country, and condensed them into 13 concrete priorities, with the responsible federal ministries on board. Now the whole country votes on what should change first! Voting takes 5 minutes and is open until July 19: deutschland-was-geht.org/ballots/UaDEep…

Die deutsche Regierung setzt auf Quadratisches Wählen! Ich freue mich sehr, dass mein Vaterland eine Vorreiterrolle bei demokratischen Innovationen einnimmt: deutschland-was-geht.org/ballots/UaDEep….

How can AI companies properly compensate content creators for training data? @raulcfernandez and @glenweyl published an op-ed in @HarvardBiz exploring how to create a sustainable market that benefits creators, AI companies, and the public 🔗 hbr.org/2026/06/how-ai…

“Some in the tech industry have rejected the protective, regulatory impulses of the encyclical, but in doing so they miss the deeper opportunity it offers,” argues @Glenweyl in reference to Pope Leo XIV’s letter on digital technology economist.com/by-invitation/…

@glenweyl makes some good points here, on @Pontifex 's encyclical. If AI is to be regulated by anything, it should be established moral wisdoms and not political whim. economist.com/by-invitation/…

Plenty to ponder in @glenweyl’s piece “Silicon Valley needs to get God.”🪷 Gratitude to my good friend & co-creator Glen for the shout-out.🙏 Empathy & humanism are the cornerstones of our #TaiwanModel🇹🇼-inspired #CivicAI & 6⃣Pack of Care. ▶️civic.ai #LLAP🖖

Great interview about how @CommunityNotes works! Super helpful for truth-seeking.

Tech must reorient towards moral purpose for it—and humankind—to flourish, argues Glen Weyl economist.com/by-invitation/…

An honor to appear in my favorite magazine, and making the case for something deeply important to me. Thank you @TheEconomist!

Excited that this is now out! Highlighting the values + funding announcements, but the whole blog post is short and worth reading. Also: "Workers, unions, small business owners, and worker organizations know things about how AI is changing jobs that no dataset tells us, and we’ll be engaging them directly."

It’s truly a privilege to receive the Creative Bureaucracy Award.🙏 But I wasn’t alone in forging resilient, digital & citizen-centric structures.🤝 I share this honour with all of Taiwan’s🇹🇼 great civil servants.👐 Read my acceptance speech.🔽 #LLAP🖖au.civic.ai/p/creative-bur…

My short essay on @CarissaVeliz's book, Prophecy: mattprewitt.substack.com/p/freedom-from…

My interview from TED with @kcoleman and @audreyt just went live! Tons of gold in here: -why we stuck with crazy principles like not having an override button -how AI and humans collaborate to write better/more notes than either on their own -how much impact community notes are making -why our algorithm is smarter than regular upvoting/downvoting -new ideas for finding common ground on social media ted.com/talks/keith_co…

With AI, the fact collector and checker tune the models and editors train the models. @CJP_2029 can become India's editor and critic with digital public problem finding and collaborative solving. Follow @audreyt, @g0vtw, @PluralityInst, @glenweyl, @VitalikButerin, @RadxChange.

New book is here! Out June 16!
