Working in Silicon Valley means asking yourself if this thing you’re seeing is a new Google ISR platform or that rapture everyone is talking about, but pretending it’s perfectly normal and going about your day regardless.

This is also how tech media often covers security. No one panic reads stories about inventory and patch management, so those don’t get a lot of play…
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

The big bill the House passed today *does* include the 10-year ban on state AI regulation, I've confirmed. And it can pass the Senate without Democrats' help.

But there is one group that could still stop it: Senate Republicans. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Analysis | A bid to bar states from regulating AI is getting pushback
Two Senate Republicans have joined Democrats in raising objections to a 10-year moratorium on state AI laws.

I'll never get obsessed with something like my GrandPa did with the Civil War, I think confidently, as I start explaining to my wife (unprompted) why Set Theory Paradoxes matter...
