It's no secret that the US social safety net as it exists today is not doing enough to support struggling families.
To fix it, we need to adopt a new approach to designing social programs: including the people who use those programs in the process.

I truly believe that one of the most effective ways to reduce antisemitism in the US would be for everyone to just watch videos of Mandy Patinkin.
It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

I'm honestly pretty excited about the grand challenge portion of these EOs to turbocharge how AI can be used for positive outcomes. I was still working in robotics when DARPA ran their Grand Challenge for automonomous vehicles back in 2004. Prior to that...
🚨The White House just launched the Genesis Mission — a Manhattan Project for AI
The Department of Energy will build a national AI platform on top of U.S. supercomputers and federal science data, train scientific foundation models, and run AI agents + robotic labs to automate experiments in biotech, critical materials, nuclear fission/fusion, space, quantum, and semiconductors.
Let’s unpack what this order actually builds, and how it could rewire the AI, energy, and science landscape over the next decade:

I'd love to see targets like combating climate change on the list as well, but best case is probably for the next administration to pick that up.

Go Cammie!
One day, my kids will ask me what I did to fight for our country at this moment. I want to tell them I fought like heck for their future. That’s why I’m running for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th district. Join me. CammieforCongress.com

I'm not a Jimmy Kimmel fan, but what happened yesterday is not ok. Canceling my Hulu / Disney+ subscription until the show is reinstated.

I’ve started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early.
When you join early, everyone’s virtual note takers join early too.
I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I’m on the Titanic, we’ve just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance.
I then do the rest of the meeting normally.
When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the AI summary is:
“Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates”
Anyone else feeling relieved by Trump's cabinet picks? Sure, they're going to wreak havoc across federal departments, but they'll also be too incompetent to pull off a coup that involves any level of coordination and planning.

We're past the point where we can just wave off poll numbers like these. There needs to be a serious conversation about an alternative Democratic presidential nominee in 2024. Otherwise, we're paving the way for a new Trump administration.
New poll: Biden is losing to Trump among Hispanics, young voters, and his support among Black voters is declining. At least some of that is due to his shocking enablement of mass killing in Gaza.

New research finds that AI disproportionately benefits high performers compared to low performers amongst 600 Kenyan entrepreneurs.
@emollick, curious to hear your perspective on this, since it seems to show the opposite result vs. the study you did with BCG?
🚨 Announcing a new working paper measuring the causal impact of generative AI on business performance in emerging markets!

This piece really resonated with me. I can't comprehend how so many people who I generally like and admire can be ok with the barbaric actions being taken against Palestinians. The depth of dehumanization at play is shocking and really depressing.
I wrote about the genocide in Palestine, and how tech has been silent and complicit.
