Kept seeing "Powell's penthouse" in a batch of Manhattan Project photos... declassified and now in the National Archives. Wondering does this weird moniker have anything to do with my grandfather? Bingo. #physics #atombomb #ManhattanProject #history

While waiting for Trump to enter the signing of the US-Denmark-Greenland agreement at the UN, they chose “Send in the Clowns” as the background music. Yes, it’s real.

Good news everyone: AI is *not* going to kill us all! But don't take my word for it -- I talked to (real) experts, and dug deep into the logic of an "AI apocalypse" and found it wanting. That doesn't mean AI companies are off the hook, though. (gift link) www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a...

Our economy hinges on a technology that's gone rogue and can wipe out civilization. Sounds like a premise for a dystopic sci-fi movie? Only it's irl. Datacenters are a migraine but the real #AI threat goes undetected. You bet we're freaking out. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/amer...
