Breaking: Brookfield and The Nuclear Company teaming up to deliver GW-scale nuclear Proud to announcing a joint venture between The Nuclear Company and Brookfield to deliver Westinghouse reactors, including to manage the completion of AP1000s in South Carolina. From the day I discovered nuclear energy my goal has been to build as much of it as possible for the world. Today, with my team at @thenuclearco, we're taking a huge step towards that. It's been an honor to work as Chief of Staff for proven builder-CEO @JonathanWebbKY alongside our legendary Chief Nuclear Officer @TheNuclearJoe as we build the team and technology that can finally fix the nuclear plant deployment problem in the West. I've been an advocate for nuclear energy long enough to see the revolution in public appreciation for this wondrous technology, but just being popular isn't enough. We have to be able to build on-time, on-budget, with proven designs that are repeated over and over with an experienced and disciplined project management team using the best emerging tech. That is precisely what we're doing at The Nuclear Company. I'll be sharing more going forward as we deliver on the awesome potential unlocked by today's announcement.

Today, @BuchananBen and I co-author a piece in the New York Times with a simple message: While we disagree on plenty, we believe AI has national security implications which deserve a careful and bipartisan government response. We can (and should) have partisan fights about all manner of AI issues, but catastrophic risk from AI shouldn’t be one of them.

President Trump should put this in the Oval with no explanation

@PEWilliams_ @bfurnas congratulations!

but they’re just stochastic parrots right? right?

@Miles_Brundage my personal favorite is data & society’s digital land acknowledgment

I've heard land acknowledgment statements before (not as often as Twitter would make it seem, maybe like once?) But I have never seen a land acknowledgment *button*

@natssauer Capitol Hill homes fit the bill here but lots of other tradeoffs relative to NoVa

we like to keep an extra room for guests, one for each kid, and a home office for my husband, so we suddenly found ourselves wanting a 4-5 bedroom home for a small family. in our search we found there aren’t ANY homes with a lot of small bedrooms and just one living room, kitchen, dining room. any house with more than 3 bedrooms has at least 2 living rooms. Sometimes 3. I think builders don’t like the homes to be disproportionate or something. Very weird and unnecessary.

good essay!

I am back in @TheFP, this time about the @NRCgov and Chairman Ho Nieh's ambitious new agenda. "“We have proven that nuclear power is safe,” Nieh said, “but it needs to be safe and possible to build." The nuclear renaissance is here. thefp.com/p/will-america…

Thrilled to announce that @JoeManchinWV and @SenArmstrong will be joining us at the Energy Imperatives Summit in June! Register at the link below.

@ThomasHochman we are so back…congratulations!

In some personal news, I got engaged to the love of my life last week

@1thousandfaces_ good rec

What The Dormouse Said by John Markoff If you want to understand what’s happening, I recommend that you read this. This shit is like a GameFAQs for how the future is going to play out. Don’t worry about the deluge of indistinguishable names and focus on the details — the vending machine, the circling, the self-improvement cults, the orgies, the Whole Earth Catalog, the psychedelics, Stanford, academia vs industry, DARPA, everything happening over and over again, and of course our old friend The Pattern. It’s fun and quite entertaining.

books I read in 2026 thread. my goal is 30

This is truly a disgusting ad. Weeks after multiple acts of violence triggered by hyperbolic anti AI rhetoric, an @FLI_org affiliated organization says “hold my beer” and produces this irresponsible ad claiming AI entrepreneurs are the same as (checks notes) Jeffrey Epstein. What are we doing?
