He’s right.

The most powerful new technology in the world is being developed by an insular group of fanatics suffering from a pseudo-religious saviour complex

Kudos to Pope Leo. I am disturbed by how some of my fellow AI researchers keep trying to elevate the moral standing of checkpoints and harnesses. I hope the rest of us on Team Meatbag reject this movement and stay focused on solving real problems and helping actual humans.

I have been reflecting on my friend + fellow @uoregon alum @fxshaw remarkable run as MSFT CCO. It’s been like watching Ohtani play baseball: historic greatness happening in front of you. All of the skills. All of the intellect. All the values. We bore witness. It was incredible.

It’s quite disturbing that Anthropic has been running a campaign to lobby the major faiths to adopt their own philosophical interpretation of AI, rather than taking input from them. I’ve been fortunate to spend time at the Vatican, and I’ve always asked for advice and guidance, answered the questions asked of me, and been grateful to them for their time and guidance. It’s insane to me Anthropic would actively impose their viewpoint to the extent of threatening to pull out of events that don’t precisely align. It’s a moral arrogance and dogmatism that has characterised EA and Anthropic (certainly its leadership at least) for a very long time. I’m glad these stories are coming out and being exposed.

In today's shenanigans, I am doing the opening keynote for the 6th annual TeamsDagen in Stockholm, Sweden! Over 600 of my favorite Microsoft 365 friends in one room? Yes, thank you! 👯 Today's keynote is called Dude...Where's My Career?! and we are talking about what's the latest in AI this week (Personal. Proactive. AI. Agents), who all is in the game, what it means for enterprises (hint: governance!) etc. Then we'll get into the heart of the topic that has everyone anxious these days: Job Security! I will introduce my brand-new P.R.E.P framework where everyone will forget about future-PROOFING their jobs and instead focus on Future PREPPING themselves for 2030 and beyond! Everyone will leave with a plan and a community to keep them accountable. If you're coming, see you soon 👉 event.teamsdagen.se/

1/ Today we’re launching an open letter calling on the government to end unfair restrictions that stop Britain’s best switching jobs or starting companies. UK AI companies that have raised $5bn agree: our best should be free to start and scale. 🧵 @downingstreet @biztradegovuk

This is how mature enterprises solve security problems (vs braggadocios press releases that create panic instead).

We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together: · Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise · Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant · Home: Chat + Cowork together · Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!) Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it. The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

Unfortunately for Republicans, the situation is very easy to describe: 1. Trump won a cost-of-living election 2. Then he publicly announced a plan to raise the price of imports 3. Then he even-more-publicly started a war that raised the price of gas 4. Meanwhile, he got rich on crypto scams, while engaging in downright Pynchonian misadventures with the reflecting pool and ballroom, which sent the unmistakeable signal that "I care more about random bullshit than America's money problems ... and also I'm not even good at executing on the random bullshit"
