“It’s my worry that in 6–12 months such a swarm <of AI agents> could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet (potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage).”
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

(1/3) “We live in a culture that’s…wildly imbalanced, like a bodybuilder who has pumped his right side up to excessive proportion while allowing his left side to shrivel away.”
“To put it another way, a well-formed life is governed by two different logics.”

“If the Founders had been able to spend an hour on X, they would have been a lot less optimistic about human beings’ capacity to govern themselves by reason rather than passion.” 👀
The Founders could never have imagined America’s modern information environment—and the “question for our democracy is whether a system designed for the communications technologies of the 18th century can survive those of the 21st,” @JeffreyRosen argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

“If you took a very long ruler that stretched from here to the planet Pluto, one inch of that distance would be you. The rest of the distance would be other possible human beings that could have been, but never were.” 👀

Excellent Axios read, along with the 10-minute video interview. Three shifts explain why there's such a gap between the American reality and how people feel:
👉2007's social media rise
👉COVID chaos
👉AI, political extremism and information bubbles in the aftermath of both.
😵💫 The Rattled Generation: We're living through the most disorienting societal moment since World War II. Almost nobody in a position of power is explaining why, or what to do about it. axios.com/2026/06/01/rattled…

Ossoff: I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who, you can rest assured as they race for the President's approval, would be voting for this crooked ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund.
And in fact, every national political reporter in the country should be putting that question to these two candidates tonight. They want to be candidates for the U.S. Senate? Let's see them prove to the people of Georgia… because they're pro-war, they're pro-tariff, they're pro-cutting health care. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund.

Wow - remember having to use all of these devices pre-smartphone?
Loved my yellow Walkman though!

This scenario, while highly unlikely, still has a nonzero chance of playing out to some extent.
Fascinating times in the age of AI.

“If we can break the grip of corruption, our politics can meet the people’s needs instead of serving the wealthy and powerful. That’s a fight we have to win.”
Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades.
Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Obama’s words embody kindness and empathy, which is what we should always expect from a presidential leader.
Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
