Overall, it's a horrendous move that will have real harms for US companies, US tech leadership, and the US economy overall. Hopefully, they don't go through with it. /x
4. Bad for US companies that took govt subsidies (CHIPs/IRA/etc): Are they next? Should they return the money? Will they preempt via political moves/lobbying? (Buyer beware, sure, but they didn’t sign up for this, and their investments may be distorted further)
A terrible decision bad for almost everyone. Six quick reasons why:
1. Bad for Intel's long-term viability, as politics, not commercial considerations, increasingly drive its decisions. (SOEs are notoriously slow, bloated, & unproductive.) Foreign govts might also target it.

This is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen in my life and I do not think people properly understand how catastrophic of a move it could prove for US global interests.

"Energy dominance" agenda:
-50% copper tariff
-Steel & aluminum tariff
-Restrictive FEOC for new power plants
-$15bn of US gas turbines to Saudis
-Punitive tax treatment for solar/wind
-Offshore wind moratorium

- Americans are concerned about geoengineering. They should be.

The new Senate draft raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven't begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027 and navigate complex, likely unworkable requirements to prove they don't use a drop of Chinese materials. After that, this bill…

The GitHub MCP server suffers from the lethal trifecta for prompt injection: access to private data, exposure to malicious instructions and the ability to exfiltrate information.

The tariff truth is ugly, so the Trump administration has been shopping for a narrative wrapper.

DC residents like me don't have the privilege of representation in Congress. If you do please ask your Senator to oppose (and if necessary filibuster) this bill that would force our local government to cut police and school spending by $1 billion. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…
Some reflections on Paris and our current moment
1. The odds that we are living through a takeoff to transformative ai seem high—much higher than they did to me one year ago—and most evidence I see reinforces, rather than complicates, this basic intuition.
2. Transformative ai…
right now Operator and similar are painfully slow for many tasks. they will improve, there will be a period of like a month where they do their stuff at human speed, and then quickly move into the regime where we can’t follow what’s happening
