Reminder that the United States could have been the world leader in 5G technology instead of China if we had just given *one guy* a green card when he needed one.

Last fall, OpenAI announced its recapitalization, paving the way for the OpenAI Foundation to access significant resources. On behalf of the Board, I’m excited to share an update today on how the Foundation is starting to put that support to work – including our plans to spend at least $1B over the next year and the team we’re putting together.
Our work is just beginning. We’ll have more updates to share in the coming weeks and months. openaifoundation.org/news/up…

The White House is really focused on blocking states from regulating AI. They lost a vote in the Senate 99-1 to do this and they know it's insanely unpopular. And ... yet ... they brought it back on Friday. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…

.@KoriSchake was asked to repeat her lecture on civil-military relations at the Air War College -- until she was suddenly uninvited. A particularly timely subject in the era of Pete Hegseth's Pentagon. Here is what she would have told the student officers. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day!
Today’s date is made of 3 perfect squares and they form a Pythagorean triple: 3² + 4² = 5²
This only happens once a century.

The next time you dislike your life, remember it's all about perspective. I have a friend who reads 2-3 books a week, works out twice a day, has no financial worries, and has people who want to have sex with him all the time. And yet he constantly complains about how much he hates prison.

A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”

One does wish all this were discussed more— Asterisk estimates that cuts to five USAID health programmes will kill between 500k and 1.1m people over the next year.
