This is a well-researched and strongly argued piece about the abundance world's view on broadband, building nicely on the Atlantic essay @BenDinovelli wrote last month. It gives good history and context. It's worth the read. Well done @klowmn and @glastris!
.@glastris and I dove deep into the weeds of the BEAD program, and US internet policy since the ’90s, for this new @monthly essay. TLDR-don't let Abundos/Republicans tell you over-regulation is the reason rural Americans don't have broadband. Some highlights (1/x)
This video essay by @TaylorLorenz is excellent. youtube.com/watch?si=ILZIa…
“A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the dismantling of the National Science Foundation, with unprecedented political interference at the agency jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth”
Boom. New Blackburn amendment with Cantwell to strip Cruz 10 year AI moratorium.
Just last year, millions of high school students said they knew a classmate who had been victimized by AI-generated image based sexual abuse. This is why countless organizations are opposing misguided efforts to block state laws on AI. We must stand with them.…
🚨🚨 17 *Republican* governors ask Congress to remove the AI moratorium from the GOP megabill. "There is one small portion of it that threatens to undo all the work states have done to protect our citizens from the misuse of artificial intelligence." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2598…
If the AI moratorium language stays in the reconciliation bill and this ban goes through, it will be one of the largest federal takeovers of state power in U.S. history. It will send our country into a spiral from which we cannot recover. It will lead to a future where states are…
Under the Constitution, under any AUMF still in existence, and, yes, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973—President Trump’s strikes against Iran are completely and unambiguously unlawful. Anyone telling you otherwise is either deeply misinformed or acting in bad faith.
One of the most frequently misrepresented federal statutes—often falsely used to justify unconstitutional presidential war powers—is the War Powers Resolution (or Act) (50 U.S.C. §§ 1541-1550). If only more people would read it. Contrary to what you may have heard about the War…
The state AI moratorium Congress is considering would wipe away real guardrails that protect real people from real harms. As I told the FT for this piece: Responsible innovation shouldn't fear laws that ban irresponsible practices.
People familiar with the moves said lobbyists are acting on behalf of Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta to urge the US Senate to enact the moratorium. on.ft.com/3G7uX3j
The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.
Glad to share that my paper Regulating Drone Delivery Networks has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Law and Mobility @UMichLaw. I've posted a copy on SSRN - comments welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Really enjoyed writing this piece for @TheAtlantic with @asad09 on the “abundance agenda” and why it doesn’t offer a solution to provide universal & affordable high-speed internet access
In @TheAtlantic, @BenDinovelli and I argue why an “abundance agenda” approach hasn’t solved and won’t solve the long-held bipartisan policy goal of providing affordable, high-speed internet to everyone in the United States. 1/7 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
