“A.I. is a genuinely powerful technology that still needs people, and putting it to use is slow, human work. The sooner we are honest about that …, the sooner we can stop performing A.I. and start building something with it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/o...

"Trump administration officials have asked a government artificial-intelligence testing unit to stop issuing public reports, the latest signal that the White House is tightening control over AI models as national-security concernsmoratorium?"

I’m glad Anthropic models will be released, but de facto executive control of AI systems has got to be the worst possible version of AI governance. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/t...

Recent commentary
A recent analysis of 188 autonomous AI incidents found that 35% involved code being destroyed or deleted. So as we delegate more to AI agents it's worth asking: How do we ensure people stay accountable for their agents?
We were warned that AI would turn everything into paperclips. But the paperclips turned out to be data centers.
For a company building superintelligence Anthropic's customer service agent is absolute garbage.
