@MollyJongFast The big labs criminally underrate the populist anger coming re: data sources for models.

News: Trump, a longtime Knicks fan, planned to attend Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.
After the Knicks swept, he is eyeing going to the NBA finals.

Does Europe have this inane “data center drinks too much water” thing? Do they even have data centers? Do they even know what AI is?
English
As I outlined last week, this should not be surprising.
The Valley continues to drastically underestimate the coallition against them, at their own peril.

NY state’s pension fund will vote against ALL @Meta board directors at the company’s annual meeting for its numerous governance failures. We’re also supporting shareholders' call for Meta to tie executive compensation to child safety and how its climate commitments align with data center expansion.

A dual-prime venture on a decades old system that’s already been delayed for years.
No wonder they don’t say the number of units or the cost — they know someone else could make it cheaper and better.

But what does Kuz think about the FY27 NDAA?
The people need to know.

Three things I’m underwriting hardest in 2026: -AI applied to industrial throughput. -autonomous defense + space robotics -clinical-stage biotech where AI compresses trial timelines. Everything else feels crowded

@ZeffMax I think the labs severely underrate how much every normal person will freak out when they learn even the experts don't know what's going on inside the models.

@NYMag How Vance + Rubio choose to differentiate themselves on AI will be the story of the 2028 primary.

The Trump administration went all in on artificial intelligence. Then the public started hating it. That’s a big political problem, writes tech columnist John Herrman. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The DBQ with this + Trump’s Truth from this AM is gonna go so crazy.
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@Noahpinion Turns out exquisite systems aren’t exactly the best match for a drone swarm!
Worth shouting out the non-traditionals fighting the uphill battle to build at scale.
English
Yes. America can produce a small number of very impressive drones. But we can't produce nearly enough to fight a war. We're like Germany or Japan in WW2 -- the quality of our weapons is good, but we don't have mass, so we'll just lose if we fight.
Russ Greene@GreenPlusAnE
I don't know who needs to hear this but American drone technology and expertise is quite advanced. We mainly need to scale up production.
English
@MollyJongFast It’s hard to imagine a communications approach less conducive to gaining public support.

Why have people like this speak at graduations?
The Tennessee Holler@TheTNHoller
“A.I. is rewriting production as we sit here… deal with it. Like I said, it’s a tool… hear me now or pay me later.” Scott Borchetta, a Nashville record label executive, gets booed by MTSU grads when he brings up A.I.

@DouglasLFarrar The kind of move that might feel good now, but could not be less popular with the American people.
English
The AI CEOs admit publicly that their models could be dangerous if released to the public. But they also lobbied to kill a voluntary safety testing framework.
Even that was too much "regulation."

@Noahpinion It’s a nice start. But posts from the CRO are still a long way from convincing the American people that the AI transition will be a net positive for them.
Hard to overestimate the current trust gap.

"Our goal is not to replace humans" is an amazing and welcome messaging shift from OpenAI. Would love to see this kind of rhetoric from Anthropic.
Mark Chen@markchen90
Very proud that an OpenAI model disproved Erdős’s longstanding unit distance conjecture, with an elegant and intricate proof that brings sophisticated ideas from algebraic number theory to bear on geometry. For whatever reason, mathematics has been the field most amenable to research breakthroughs with AI. I consider it lucky that it was mathematics after all - a field where experts have been willing to engage deeply with us, and with proofs generated by our models. I'm grateful for that, and don't take it for granted. Math is an artistic endeavor, and perhaps for artists, it is precisely their appreciation for art that saves them from the possibly grotesque feeling of a machine producing it. Our goal is not to replace humans. We aim to chart a path forward where humans continue to have a significant role to play, even as we build exceptionally powerful AI. I am excited to use math as a domain to explore these paths, and @SebastienBubeck, @merettm, and I are excited to engage with the broader mathematical community to chart them together. Please reach out if you are interested! I'm optimistic this will help us navigate how AI impacts society in domains like coding and general co-working.

An alliance between a POTUS 20 points underwater and an even more unpopular industry isn't sustainable.
Especially when they're killing even voluntary standards.
Trump's done running. But the AI labs still have an entire country to convince.
This won't win many converts.

My first essay: Pascal’s Wager.
Tech bet everything on Trump.
They got the math wrong.
It’s time for Silicon Valley to fundamentally reshape how they deal with Washington — and with the American people.
Because the backlash has only just begun.
