Every time you load a page, your data travels through physical infrastructure - cables under oceans, satellites overhead, fiber under cities. Most people never think about. That's why I decided to map it. This is Project Backbone. It's free, interactive, and live.

Excited to share this updated primer on the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) with @danielschuman. With new economic/cyber/bio/and other policy challenges arising from AI, now would be a great time to invest in greater science and tech capacity in Congress. cc @SpeakerJohnson @hakeemjeffries
Replying to @danielschuman
That's a great question -- @ZacharyGraves and I have written at length on OTA. But, if you just want a short primer, we got you covered. thefai.org/posts/one-pager-oโ€ฆ

Just before Halloween, we're teaming up with @AspenInstitute to host a debate on the haunted question of AI consciousness. On the evening of 10/29 in DC, come see @hamandcheese and @aaronsibarium duke it out over whether there's really a ghost in the machine.

Down with the invasive mosquitoes and ticks. Proud to lead a coalition letter to @EPA today recommending pro-innovation reforms for advanced pest control tech, from gene drives to Wolbachia, along with my @JoinFAI colleagues @ZacharyGraves, @maxbodach, and @banksianr.

Most recent battle in the architecture wars appears to be over, but expect more fights like this... Hopefully policymakers are paying attention to what's happening in the Delaware Court of Chancery because this issue won't stay in Wilmington.
The verdict is in... I am here at the court again.. Paraphrasing the verdict: 1. @Qualcomm wins all claims on ALA 2. @Arm wins on all claims of TLA 3. @Qualcomm wins on torturous interference claims and CA Unfair Competition Law... More to come soon $QCOM $ARM #qcomarm

The best place to put data centers might be the middle of the ocean. After studying and corresponding with @_panthalassa, a startup building wave-powered data centers, Iโ€™m releasing a model and interactive dashboard that tests the viability and cost of moving compute to sea. If youโ€™re curious about what harvesting massive amounts of energy from the ocean looks like and why I believe ocean compute beats data centers on land, read it.

SECRETARY RUBIO: โ€œNationalismโ€ became a dirty word. So we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process we opened our borders, and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.

America needs timely, durable yes-or-no permitting decisions that preserve substantive environmental protections. We need a reliable grid that lowers costs and meets rising demand. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act delivers on all counts!

It also creates a credible path for interstate transmission and requires data centers to cover the transmission costs they drive rather than passing that bill on to American families.

FAI Action thanks @SenCapito @SenWhitehouse @SenMikeLee and @SenatorHeinrich for working across the aisle on permitting reform and we urge Congress to take up the bill without delay and to send it to the President's desk before the end of the year.
