Malcolm Gladwell explaining why some people succeed and some don't.

I am not a morning person. Every doctor, sleep study, and my own mother will confirm this. And yet at 24, I decided this was the one thing standing between me and my best life.
It started with a podcast. Some guy with a jawline was talking about his 4:30 AM routine like it was the secret to immortality. I listened three times. I bought a sunrise alarm clock for $89.
Week one, I woke at 5 AM and told people about it. Unprompted. At dinner parties.
Week two, I was dismissing all four alarms in my sleep. My body was committing crimes without my consent.
I bought an app that made me solve math problems to turn the alarm off. I started hating math. I used to like math.
Four months later I had spent $340 on sleep equipment, read two books on circadian rhythms, and was waking up at 7:52 AM — later than before I started.
Plot twist: I looked up my chronotype. Turns out some people are genetically wired to be night owls. Fighting it is like telling a left-handed person to just try harder.
I am a wolf. The podcast guy was probably a lion. We are different animals.
I now wake up at 8. The sunrise alarm is in a drawer. The gratitude journal is a coaster.
The lesson: sometimes the self-improvement arc is just you spending five months arguing with your own DNA.

Elected officials are not the only ones who have the capacity to embody “American Values”.
Amodei has every right to speak out against a gov that seeks power over deep understanding.
Who do we trust more to tell us about AI safety this morning — Anthropic or the DOW?

Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face. He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now? He didn’t hesitate. Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done has been for the sake of this country.” Anthropic built their models to defend America. They were the first AI lab cleared for classified military systems. They wanted to help the warfighter. But the Pentagon demanded unrestricted access to fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens. Amodei drew the line. The government responded with emergency Cold War powers. A supply chain designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries. A six-month federal phaseout ordered from Truth Social. Amodei: “When we were threatened with supply chain designation and Defense Production Act, which are unprecedented intrusions into the private economy, we exercised our classic First Amendment rights to speak up and disagree with the government.” The administration framed Anthropic’s refusal as anti-American. Amodei’s response dismantled that framing in one sentence. Amodei: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.” Here is the deeper paradox nobody in Washington wants to say out loud. We are in a geopolitical race against autocratic adversaries who use AI for mass surveillance of their own citizens and autonomous weapons with no human oversight. The Pentagon demanded that Anthropic build those exact capabilities for America. Amodei: “The red lines we have drawn, we drew because we believe that crossing those red lines is contrary to American values.” You cannot defeat authoritarianism by adopting its methods. You cannot defend the open society by forcing private companies to build its antithesis under threat of wartime emergency powers. Anthropic held the line. Got blacklisted for it. And came out the other side saying the same thing they said going in. That is what it actually looks like to mean it.

“and to invoke the Defense Production Act to force the safeguards’ removal. These latter two threats are inherently contradictory: one labels us a security risk; the other labels Claude as essential to national security.”
Hours later, the DOW signs OpenAI.
Make it make sense.
English
“They have threatened to remove us from their systems if we maintain these safeguards; they have also threatened to designate us a “supply chain risk”—a label reserved for US adversaries, never before applied to an American company”

Anthropic: “We’ll work with the military on everything except autonomous killer robots and mass surveillance of Americans.”
The Pentagon: “We don’t plan to do those things.”
Anthropic: “Great, put it in writing.”
The Pentagon: “No.”
Trump: “BAN THEM FROM THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT.”
This may be one of the most consequential AI policy decisions in history

BREAKING: President Trump orders ALL Federal agencies in the US Government to immediately stop using Anthropic's technology.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
