Between Mythos, Anthropic v Pentagon, and the drumbeat of biosecurity concerns, I think we're entering a period where (a) AI as a consumer product (chatbot + coding assistant) will continue to behave like a "normal" technology—a very powerful tool that does all sorts of useful things alongside workers without imminently wiping out tranches of the labor force; while... (b) as bio-/cyber-/national security threat, AI is becoming something else entirely, a sort of hydra of existential risk that's going puncture ppl's confidence that "AI is a normal technology" and force both the labs and the federal govt to establish rules on the fly, while open models race to catch up to the frontier

For the first time ever, the leaders of earth’s two greatest powers will discuss AI as an agenda item. Messrs. Trump and Xi will look for areas of mutual cooperation and explore ways to work together on security and threats from nonstate actors.
