"As we transition into an era defined by powerful AI products, we should demand that the tech industry do more than merely address catastrophic harms. [These companies] have earned obligations far greater than avoiding the next terrible headline." technologyreview.com/2026/10


The focus on AI safety disasters ignores everyday harms

Lawmakers are passing industry-backed bills to guard against the worst outcomes, rather than addressing more common problems.

Anthropic is saying that AI models could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. At the same time, Anthropic is planning the largest IPO in history, which would accelerate the development of this technology while leaving Americans holding the bag if the AI bubble bursts. I wrote to CEO Dario Amodei asking for real answers about the risks before they try and go public.

“Every single aspect of healthcare is very monopolized and consolidated; incentives don’t align with what patients or providers want.” Read @arsteinhorns latest: hardresetmedia.com/p/i-inter


I Interviewed A Doctor About A.I. In Health Care

The healthcare system has been consolidating. While there may be a few good uses for A.I., it may become another way for hospital and insurance executives to further “cut costs” in the name of efficie

NEW: Millions of teachers, law enforcement officers and other public workers depend on pensions in retirement. Those savings increasingly may be at risk, as jubilation about an A.I. boom turns to fear about an A.I. bubble -- sparking concern nationwide (link below)

I can say with 100% certainty than none of our sources are corporate. There are major donors, small $ donors, labor unions and grassroots base-building orgs. It’s a massive tent and a civil society response to your industry’s election meddling.

Anthropic Co-Founder Tom Brown Made More Donations to Conservative Causes

Brown is a Marsha Blackburn fan—and, it seems, supports local GOP candidates in Texas. Plus: we asked a tech billionaire if he regrets backing Ramaswamy.

Important piece by @noamscheiber on lawyer Beth Wilkinson and her career defending corporate interests and monopolies — from Paramount to Nexstar, and more. While Democrats might be inclined to defend Wilkinson for her defense of ABC, as @nhegde says, that doesn’t wash away a career spent helping monopolists consolidate markets. If Democrats are serious about being a party for working people, they have to take seriously what lawyers like her facilitate.

Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000(!) employees. Headcount and revenue growth is really starting to diverge at tech companies.

“We found that the AI Super PACs were more toxic with voters than Wall Street, cryptocurrency or AIPAC,” Charles Blaettler, political director of Guardrails Alliance (@GuardrailsNow), a PAC that combats AI spending that the advocacy group is part of, told Inc. “The influence of AI money on elections and politics sits at this nexus of the anxieties that people are feeling about AI, and this increased disgust people have around corruption and special interest money and politics.”

“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet. Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.
