The AI Summit ends in rupture. AI accelerationists want pure expansion—more capital, energy, private infrastructure, no guard rails. Public interest camp supports labor, sustainability, shared data. safety, and oversight. The gap never looked wider. AI is in its empire era.

🚨 This is not a drill––If you vote in one of these ten states, abortion rights are on your ballot! NEW YORK *flip your ballot* and vote YES on Prop 1, Equal Protection of Law Amendment. ARIZONA vote YES on Prop 139, Right to Abortion Initiative. COLORADO vote YES on Amendment 79, Right to Abortion and Health Insurance Coverage Initiative. FLORIDA vote YES on Amendment 4, Right to Abortion Initiative. MISSOURI vote YES on Amendment 3, Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative. MARYLAND vote YES on Question 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment. MONTANA vote YES on Constitutional Initiative 128, Right to Abortion Initiative. NEBRASKA vote YES on Nebraska Initiative 439 Right to Abortion Initiative ** and vote NO on 434 (this second anti-abortion measure was drafted specifically to confuse voters!) NEVADA vote YES on Question 6, Right to Abortion Initiative. SOUTH DAKOTA vote YES on Constitutional Amendment G, Right to Abortion Initiative. Much more on the details of each ballot initiative, what the opposition has been like, how the polling looks, and how you can help at the Link in my Bio

TSMC makes the world’s most advanced chips in Taiwan. Geopolitical shifts are pushing it to set up a new factory in the American desert. It needs to bring its cutting-edge tech but also a notoriously harsh, military-style work culture to the U.S. 🧵 restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-ar…
