@timmiller.bsky.social and Tommy Vietor dismantle the All-In crew’s conspiracy theory that Obama wants AI safeguards so liberal tech companies can funnel money back to him.

The whole idea that tech companies would regulate themselves is insane.
don't want to pile on here but the problem is it wasn't a crusade. Dems did a couple modest skirmishes against Big Tech power but did not remotely break it, in fact they all kept getting huge government subsidies

This article frames tech as a battleground between parents and schools. But I was chatting the other day with a school official who's leading an effort to shift her district away from device-based learning, and she told me--every teacher she's talked to is on board.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

I've been warning orgs that work on stigmatized areas of healthcare to move their tech stack to European companies.
This is going to create an exodus of international orgs and governments moving away from American tech companies.
