We're in the last throes of where we were as a society versus where we're going when it comes to the impact of AI. It’s called the extinction burst.
In my latest Off the Record Briefing, I break down the real problems we need to be thinking about.

@axios.com is reporting that the WH will turn all their digital assets into "Trump TV" today for 12 hours before the SOTU. This is one of the smarter digital things Trump has done, going back to the 2016 debates, to own the viewer journey from start to finish.

America's digital empire has a trust problem. U.S. hyperscalers' future may depend less on the commercial deals they strike and more on their commitment to protect the democracy that made their global dominance possible. My latest for @wpr.bsky.social

Over the weekend I used Zentropi to build a labeler that blocks requests to use AI to undress or sexualize real people. The labeler itself took maybe 30 minutes to a first solid draft, with another 30 minutes of tweaking. In my testing it's got an F1 of .98 on real examples pulled from X. 🧵 1/6

Trust in the word I keep hearing for 2026. In my new Off the Record briefing I explore:

➡️ What 2026’s AI-native election cycle will look like

This makes sense given products can (and should) set different policies based on their communities, but it leaves us reinventing the wheel. 🧵 1/5

I didn’t plan to break news. I just looked out the window.
I was flying out of DCA and saw the East Wing being demolished. I took a photo, posted it, and by the time I landed, it was on CNN.
It's wild how fast one moment can move — and how something so ordinary can make the world pay attention.
Yes!
