Listen to Eisenhower on the men who perished on D-Day: They "gave us a chance, and bought time for us, so that we could do better than we have before." cbsnews.com/video/eisenhower… via @CBSNLive
It's like saying to companies that generate toxic waste, "if you believe it's unsafe, you can just not dump it in rivers -- you don't need us to force you."
Responsible companies ask for uniform rules so that irresponsible competitors don't take advantage of them.
🔥 White House Science & Technology Director @mkratsios47 to AI companies demanding government intervention:
“If you do believe that you’re developing a technology that is unsafe… you can just stop it. You don’t need someone to force you to do that.”

Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter

This is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined.
Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels.
Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion.
Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times.
In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere:
“How many combines are available in Europe?”
“Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.”
“I’ll take them all.”
Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers.
He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him:
“Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.”
Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center.
“$14 million.”
“Okay. And what do you expect in return?”
“Nothing. Build it.”
Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients.
But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics.
It is food: 642 million meals.
And that is only part of it:
* 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks;
* 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories;
* Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding.
“I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says.
He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson.
Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world.
I simply want to thank him and wish him well.
Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine.
He simply chose to help.

When I was in second grade, I had a similar vision, which I submitted, at the strong request of the United States Military of course. Here was my design:
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Anyone proposing AI deal with China as alternative to type of democratic compact @Malinowski proposes will have to do better than "this should be easy to do" and "this is like a one-page document." US should pursue talks with China while acting on the assumption they will fail.
There are two concepts for applying AI guardrails globally.
1. The U.S. and China agree to it, as Sam Altman fantasizes below.
2. The U.S. and other democracies agree to it and use our combined market power to hold back those (including potentiall China) who don't go along. 1/
Sam Altman says Trump and Xi would win the Nobel Peace Prize for a one-page AI agreement
“I think Presidents Trump and Xi would get the Nobel Peace Prize together if they could agree on something that should be easy to agree to. And it would be wonderful.”
“I think that clearly the two countries are going to compete in lots of ways, and this is going to be important socioeconomically, geopolitically. But they should be able to agree that no one should be taking a certain level of risk with the development process of this.”
“And even if just the US and China could agree on some shared standards and testing for development of this technology, I think that'd be a wonderful accomplishment that the two of them can deliver.”
“I don’t think this is hard. This is like a one page document.”
A US company has a monopoly on the most advanced AI chips. Two mines in North Carolina supply almost all the world's high-purity quartz needed to make those chips. A Dutch company makes the only machines in the world that can print microscopic surface patterns onto them.
If we stop eating food altogether, imagine how much we could save!
Good, but this should be a universal legal standard -- AI must always clearly identify itself as AI.
That rule should apply to anything generated by AI posted on a public platform, and to any AI agent, chatbot, or AI powered technology that can impersonate a human being.
New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real.
That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI.
Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

This is actually insane. We're taking over more venezuelan assets than their oil but we can't identify where the money is going and who it is going to? seems like something we should look into
Rep. Casten: “President Trump said…we’re taking in a lot of money, billions of dollars from Venezuela…He seemed to imply that we, the U.S. people, are taking in money to offset those costs. That would suggest flows to U.S. persons.”
Bessent: “This is one of the largest assets to ever go on the U.S. balance sheet.”
Rep. Casten: “You can't testify as we sit here whether or not those are flowing to U.S. persons?”
Bessent: “Uh, no.”

Respectfully, this is not encouraging at all. There is very little space between industry and government leaders -- why do we think it's been impossible to pass ANY tech policy on the federal level?
Big Tech is already in the room. They're already writing the laws. Sam Altman is on the Hill or in the WH every other day. Mark Zuckerberg & Jeff Bezos have houses down the street from the VP.
Dems are rightfully pivoting to campaigning against data center "developers" -- i.e. Big Tech -- and they will win back the House on a tech accountability platform.
The Big Tech CEOs who have spent the last 2.5 sucking up to Trump with bribes & acquiescence deserve to be left out in the cold.
This is an encouraging effort to bring industry and government leaders together to pass the kind of sensible AI oversight we need. It is possible to heed the warnings of so many AI researchers and address safety concerns without sacrificing the technology’s benefits. But time is running out; the federal government must act quickly.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children
New: Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show. propub.li/4xTBcxt

The Chinese government has now clearly and unmistakably rejected serious collaboration with the United States on AI safety. This was a predictable development. It is also a clarifying moment for the importance of U.S. export controls on AI chips and other technologies, which are now indisputably a necessary element of any AI safety regulatory regime—and must be an urgent policy priority.
The Chinese government is now explicitly saying it views any U.S. proposal that would constrain its AI capabilities as an effort to lock-in U.S. technological dominance over China—which is unsurprising because that is the exact same way it has historically viewed U.S. arms control proposals. And particularly given President Trump has stated that staying ahead of China in AI is basically an existential issue for the United States, it is understandable that China would have little willingness to put any constraints on its own AI labs so long as it feels like they still have a chance to overtake the U.S. AI labs. China is unlikely to change this posture unless it perceives it cannot catch up to the United States in AI, or there is a catastrophic event that shocks the Chinese government into changing its perspective (à la the Cuban Missile Crisis).
If China will not agree to any negotiated restraints on its AI labs, this leaves the United States with two options if it wishes to stay ahead of China in AI: (1) slow China’s AI development ourselves by strengthening export controls on U.S. AI chips and other relevant technologies, which China needs to stay competitive with the United States in AI; or (2) race ahead of China as fast as possible by refusing U.S. labs’ requests to impose regulations that slow their development of AI to ensure it is safe, and hope that the labs’ warnings about the potential for catastrophic risk if AI development moves too fast are wrong.
Those are the only two options. There is no longer any middle ground. As long as China is a pacing threat, the United States will be limited in its ability to impose meaningful AI safety regulations on its own AI labs given maintaining AI leadership is existential. This means it is no longer an intellectually consistent position to support AI safety regulations but oppose export controls on China. If you oppose export controls, you either oppose AI safety regulations, or believe the Chinese government is lying when it says it rejects U.S. proposals to slow AI development. And China has no incentive to lie about that.
This is a dangerous situation. If you do believe that AI leadership is existential and that domestic AI safety regulations are necessary and urgent, the time for half-measures on export controls is over. China has shown us its cards and told us it will not cooperate on AI safety. If China will not slow itself down in the near-term, we have no choice but to take steps today to slow China down ourselves. Not doing so is irresponsible.
Translation of the "Global Times Quick Take: Targeting Chinese AI! America’s “Tech Right” Produces a Cold War Script" sinocism.notion.site/Global-… "Amodei’s attempt to discuss global AI safety while “containing China” is both a completely mistaken judgment and a fundamentally unrealizable fantasy. As one of the largest and most open suppliers in the global AI ecosystem, China’s AI capabilities have long since ceased to be a variable that can be “excluded.” Forcibly severing the global AI industrial and innovation chains and excluding China and Chinese companies would only greatly increase the trial-and-error costs and risks of loss of control in global AI development. Such “control of the pace” would itself lose all meaning.
阿莫迪试图在“遏制中国”的同时谈论全球AI安全，既是完全错误的判断，也是根本无法实现的妄想。作为全球AI生态中体量最大、开放程度最高的供给方之一，中国的AI能力早已不是一个可以被“排除在外”的变量。如果强行割裂全球AI产业链、创新链，将中国和中国企业排除在外，只会大幅提升全球AI发展的试错成本与失控隐患，这样的“控制节奏”本身已经丧失意义。"
