"Part of this problem is scientific—about how machines work—but another part is human, about how people care for one another. Before the organizations building AI can teach a superintelligence to treat humanity well, they’ll need to remember how to do it themselves."

"His summits are a national hazard precisely because Trump apparently does not understand that he is representing the United States; instead, he seems to think he’s just having a visit with some of the guys in a very cool club of which he’d very much like to be a member."

We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.

Half of Russia’s six largest diesel-producing refineries are now either shut down or operating at sharply reduced capacity after Ukrainian drone strikes. That’s not just an inconvenience. It’s a direct blow to the fuel supply that keeps Russia’s war machine moving.
