The primary thing I write about in terms of aviation safety is how long the cascade of events can be prior to an aircraft accident. While failures in the cockpit might exist, they are rarely the first step in what goes wrong. Sometimes the cascade is months or years in the making (i.e. 737 MAX). /1

This is a very important and well written perspective on AI. It is read worthy.

For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is a very insightful, informative, fair and thought-provoking look at AI from a human and policy perspective. A detailed but important read.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

No one knows the Russians the way Ukrainians know Russians. There’s a thousand years of history between them. For hundreds of years, Ukraine has been fending off Russian political and cultural domination.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

🚨The Trump admin will kick 300,000+ Venezuelans off of TPS in 60 days, rendering them undocumented and forcing them to lose jobs and stability. Combined with tariffs, this will be another huge blow to the economy; nearly all are working legally now. And another 300,000 will lose status in September!

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”
