If world leaders agree to halt or limit AI development, how do we verify that nations are actually keeping their commitments?
Joe Rogero writes about the three goals for verification mechanisms identified by Technical Governance researchers @aaronscher and @LisaThiergart👇

Humanity has ALWAYS adopted power before understanding it. Fire. Electricity. Nuclear. Internet. Now AI.
The pattern isn't recklessness, it's a species-level blind spot: we're wired to chase capability and retrofit wisdom.
**The ones who manage risk first are the wisest and the ones that prevail when risk addicts perish.**

This is directly from my newsletter today, but I think it is a lesson that everybody needs to hear about AI security: Before you connect it to your company's files, ask who else can see what it sees. Before you paste sensitive information into a tool you don't control, ask where that data goes after you hit enter. The people building these tools are moving fast because that's what the market rewards. The people deploying them are moving fast because they don't want to fall behind. But nobody in that chain is incentivized to slow down and ask whether the security infrastructure is ready for what we're plugging into it. And from where I sit, it's not. AI is the most powerful tool most of us have ever had access to. But a tool is only as safe as the system it's connected to. And right now, we're connecting it to everything, securing almost nothing, and hoping that the efficiency gains outweigh whatever comes next.

The new EU Inc - how it works and what's still missing 🇪🇺
3 days ago, the EU tabled its long-discussed proposal for a “28th regime” — a new optional company form: EU Inc.
→ Europe still has 27 different company law systems
→ A major barrier for startups scaling across the Single Market
→ A core theme of the Draghi & Letta reports and the EU competitiveness agenda
What is EU Inc.?
→ An optional EU-wide corporate form
→ A single rulebook you can opt into instead of national regimes
→ Still anchored in a Member State (not a fully separate EU system)
Registration / setup
→ Fully digital (no paper, no physical presence)
→ Via EU interface (BRIS) or national registers
→ 48h incorporation (with templates), max €100
→ 5 working days with custom statutes
→ “Once-only” principle: data reused across tax, VAT, etc.
Governance
→ Board structure (at least 1 EU-resident director)
→ Fully digital governance (online meetings, e-voting)
→ Harmonised duties, liability, conflict rules
→ Minority shareholder protections (incl. exit rights)
Shares & fundraising (key for startups)
→ Fully digital shares (no paper, no notaries required)
→ Free transfer of shares across borders
→ Flexible share classes (incl. multiple voting rights)
→ No minimum capital (can be €0)
→ No nominal value shares by default
→ Designed to support SAFEs, convertibles, warrants
Employee stock options (big one)
→ New EU-wide ESO regime
→ Taxation only at sale of shares (not grant/vesting/exercise)
→ Aimed at fixing Europe’s “dry tax” problem
Cross-border scaling
→ Branches & subsidiaries set up digitally EU-wide
→ Company data shared automatically via BRIS
→ EU Company Certificate + digital power of attorney
→ No re-submission of the same info across countries
So what’s the catch? (key criticism from the startups)
→ Core areas still national: tax, labour, insolvency -> this won't change anytime soon
→ Not a fully unified EU company code
→ Disputes in countries remain with national courts (no EU-level system) -> probably the main point of criticism at the moment
What’s next?
→ Parliament + Member States negotiations starting now
→ Political deal targeted by end of 2026
→ Likely application ~2028 (after entry into force + 12 months)
Bottom line:
One of the most ambitious EU steps in history toward a real Single Market for companies. Not yet “one rulebook” across the board - but a big step in the right direction.
Pushback from usual interest groups will be significant, so outcome and final shape remain tbd. The history of similar proposals such as the Societas Europaea in 2004 shows how tough it is to crack that nut. But Fingers crossed.
Congrats for this initial success to long-time supporters like @euinc_petition @euacc @euacchq. Keep pushing!

Terence Tao spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study - no teaching, no random events of committees, just unlimited time to think. But after a few months, he ran out of ideas.
Terence thinks that mathematicians and scientists need a certain level of randomness and inefficiency to come up with new ideas.

The traders who built 7 figures and gave it back didn't have a strategy problem. They had an IDENTITY problem.
Our nervous system has a financial set point for what feels "normal" to have. Blow past it and your subconscious doesn't celebrate. It PANICS.
So we take the reckless trade. Not because you forgot; because your subconscious believes you don't BELONG at that number.
I've coached enough financial wizards to know: the #1 threat to extraordinary wealth isn't the market. It's the person in the chair who hasn't done the inner work to match the outer result.
Protecting what you've made isn't ONLY a trading strategy, it's a CRUCIAL identity upgrade. ❤️👽 @steveburns
Steve Burns@SJosephBurns
One thing most successful traders always emphasize: Protect what you’ve made. Too many traders built 7-figure accounts only to end up giving most of it back. It’s not what you make short term, it’s what you keep long term that matters.

First view of the 100kw AI Mini Sat with solar panels and heat radiator to scale. “And that’s just the Mini version. We expect future versions to go to the megawatt range.” — Elon
The key missing ingredient is a terawatt of AI compute. Fully integrated fab with recursive improvement locally. Will explore non-traditional computing. Austin, TX.
Optimus robots: 1-10 billion units/year.
D3 chip optimized for space, designed to run hotter to minimize radiator mass. It will be the vast majority of the compute 100-200GW/yr on Earth. +1TW/yr in space because of power constraints on Earth.

AI is going to reshape jobs.
But right now our tax system is tilted against hiring people at exactly the moment firms are deciding what to automate.
We need to fix that.

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

When the world itself is unhealthy, our modern obsession with self-improvement serves as little more than a plaster over systemic burnout. | iai.tv/articles/nietz…
Drawing on Nietzsche, Jill Marsden argues we should turn away from self-improvement and focus on self-realisation.

What meaning does music carry beyond emotion and beauty? | bit.ly/4sZBmAt
While some philosophers see music as a contentless abstraction, philosopher and musician Andrew Bowie argues it is more than beautiful noise: it carries meaning and significance that listeners are always interpreting.
Drawing on Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, Bowie defends Schopenhauer's view that music carries a meaning which escapes ordinary language, connecting us to the world in ways that no philosophical discourse can.

At faculty, we think that we should build human-first ai systems, both for principled reasons (it’s safer and more ethical to ensure humans control the systems) and pragmatic reasons (we don’t have agi, so the best decisions will be made by people and machines working together)

AI researcher Prof. Roman Yampolskiy: 100% of code for the most powerful AIs is now written by AI, an early form of recursive self-improvement.
He says it's a hyperexponential process that results in superintelligent AI, "machine gods", which we won't be able to control.

"They're betting everyone's lives: 8 billion people, future generations, all the kids, everyone you know. It's an unethical experiment on human beings, and it's without consent." — AI researcher Prof. Roman Yampolskiy on the development of superintelligence. We can prevent it.
