Anthropic has launched AnthroPAC, marking a significant escalation in the company's Washington presence. As AI regulation debates intensify across US legislatures, the move signals growing concern about regulatory outcomes affecting the company's business model. The PAC will likely support candidates who favour balanced AI governance rather than restrictive regulations. https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/03/anthropic-ramps-up-its-political-activities-with-a-new-pac/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIGovernance #Anthropic

This week: Sam Altman says AI belongs on classified Pentagon networks and should be treated like the Manhattan Project.

The first article on basilpuglisi.com was "What is Mashable?" posted December 8, 2009. Article 1,001 carries a Congressional legislative package on AI governance. The path between those two runs through Social Media Week, a police academy, a lost domain, and an open-source governance ecosystem at github.com/basilpuglisi/HAIA.

OpenAI acquired TBPN, the tech talk show that frequently interviews Sam Altman, for hundreds of millions. The 11-person team will report to OpenAI's strategy chief, not a newsroom. The company calls this an "Editorial Independence Covenant" - but when you buy your interviewer, that independence becomes theoretical at best. #AIGovernance #MediaOwnership #TechAccountability

OpenAI Bought TBPN. That's Not Editorial Independence.

OpenAI paid hundreds of millions for an 11-person talk show and called it an Editorial Independence Covenant. The playbook is not new. Margit Wennmachers wrote it at Andreessen Horowitz when Valley coverage turned hostile.

Over 60 US civil society groups have signed a letter calling Meta to abandon plans for facial recognition in Ray-Ban smart glasses, calling it a dangerous and reckless plan that will harm users and the public. The letter warns it could empower scammers, blackmailers, stalkers and authoritarian regimes. Senators sent a similar inquiry last month. https://gizmodo.com/calls-to-regulate-smart-glasses-are-officially-deafening-2000741499 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIGovernance #Meta
