Yes, and, the Markey/Clarke AI Civil Rights Act is several years in the making with over 80 endorsements from many major civil rights, consumer, labor, and civil liberties orgs. It is the consensus gold standard bill for the progressive plan to regulate AI.

The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.

The AI did not “go rogue.” The people who work at the company didn’t put the truck in park and it rolled down the hill. The people didn’t lock the lion’s cage and it mauled a patron. The people left the sink on and flooded the neighbors. You don’t get to “oopsie” a hack of the U.S. government.

“Albanese said he met OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman on Wednesday to discuss the incident.” If anyone else hacks a govt, they get prosecuted, not a mtg. Sec 230 is super important, but a bad side effect has been it created a false conventional wisdom that regular laws don’t apply to big tech.

Sitting federal judges almost never give interviews to the press about the administration of justice. At most you get vague book talks or law school lecture series, and even those are predominantly from SCOTUS justice. This is a Paul Revere-level ringing of alarm bells for the rule of law.

quite something this paragraph.

After meeting with delegates from the two sides in South Florida, Kushner and Witkoff emerged with a peace plan that would have required Ukraine to accept nearly all of Russia’s demands: ceding territory, promising never to join NATO, and drastically shrinking its army. Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, hailed the proposal as “a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine.” But, when the plan became public, it collapsed under a wave of outrage. Even Rubio reportedly derided it as “Russia’s wish list.”
Some observers suspect that Russia has effectively offered the Americans business deals in exchange for a favorable peace agreement. “This is the generally held view,” the former U.S. official in the region told me. A classified report produced by a European intelligence agency states that Trump and people around him have discussed several potential contracts in Russia. The report is not dated, but the European official who gave it to me said that the details were first discussed sometime after Trump invited Putin to Anchorage, in August, 2025. Twice that year, Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, was allowed to enter the U.S., where he talked about investment opportunities. “The privatization of American foreign policy is quite far along,” the official who gave me the report said. (A spokesman for Kushner denied that U.S. officials would profit from the deals under discussion.)
The document lists ten potential ventures, which it says appear to “have been originally designed by the Kremlin’s political and business elites.” They include reopening the Nord Stream 2 pipeline under American control, resuming ExxonMobil’s operations in Sakhalin, and drilling for oil in the Sea of Okhotsk. According to the report, there was discussion of unfreezing Russian assets that are held under American sanctions. The document mentions people who might participate, including Trump, Witkoff, and Kushner. It also names Richard Grenell, the former Presidential en…

The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.
