The Atlantic makes a straight factual error in its Abdul profile, saying he now believes Medicare For All is just a "public option" like Buttigieg proposed. We asked El-Sayed directly, and he said that's false. The Atlantic should correct this, but probably won't.

If AI companies' products start to hurt people, their executives should be prosecuted and put in prison. We've really just totally lost sight of the idea that CEOs should be subject to criminal laws, the idea being that they only get "regulated," never jailed. Time to end that!

One of the problems that keeps us from regulating AI properly is that from the pro-regulatory Amodei to the anti-regulatory Mike Johnson, everyone shares ludicrous propagandistic views about China, thinking that whatever we do, we must somehow "Beat China."
