US governemnt: launches official government chatbot on america.gov Trump: will now have to call his own chatbot a liar because it says the truth
On america.gov, a screenshot of a chat:

Q: Was there any evidence that the election was stolen?

A: No official federal findings supported the claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

• Election infrastructure officials said there was no evidence any voting system deleted, lost, or changed votes, or was compromised. CISA joint statement
• The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security said they found no evidence a foreign government manipulated election results. DOJ–DHS joint statement
• The Intelligence Community reported no indications that any foreign actor altered voter registration, ballot casting, vote tabulation, or reporting. Select Committee report, Appendix 4

Congress certified the Electoral College results on January 7, 2021. Isolated election crimes can occur; they are not the same as evidence that the national result was stolen.

Cornell asked employers what’s wrong with college grads. The issue wasn’t technical knowledge but handling ambiguity, conflict, compromise & feedback. AI may make these “soft skills” more valuable. You can teach domain knowledge but it’s harder to teach motivation or how to work with others.

Colleges need to start teaching soft skills, or students will keep falling short in the workplace, argues a Cornell report on “the future of the American university.”

Mathematicians and biologists used ChatGPT and Claude for their work only for those companies to later claim AI had discovered solutions to unsolved problems similar to their work. The concern that frontier labs will use your data to compete with you is sounding more like fact than fiction.

After a few months of living the AI native lifestyle, I now believe the default state is that it makes you worse at your job overtime as you understand less and hand off more thinking to AI. You’re more productive but it takes a lot of effort for your work quality not to drop precipitously.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

There's a big difference between saying "In early computing, many people learned FORTRAN and Ada. Now people learn Python and Rust. People don't know FORTRAN anymore!" And "People's generalized problem solving ability, critical thinking, and attention span, have declined."

As bad as things are now economically in the U.S., they are only going to get worse as long as Trump remains president. Between his ego and incompetence, there’s no clear path to rolling back tariffs or ending the conflict with Iran. Plan your life accordingly.

it's not lost on me how critical it is to be building community-driven social technology in this time, because there's a lot we need - more joy, more connection, more education, more agency, and more privacy. breaking out of the box of "social media" - what are the tools we need in these times?

Watching TV and every other ad is an app showing how you can chat with AI in the app (e.g. Thumbtack, Instacart). All I want is for them to expose an MCP server so my agent can talk to their services instead of using their apps. 😭

The entire AI industry is calling out Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX for using fear mongering as an attempt at regulatory capture. There are already a lot of legitimate problems and risks with AI without freaking people out about made up ones.
