In 2020, the FBI came to my house to try to ask me questions about a story I'd written. I declined.

I wrote about the back-story of what happened that day and after, my outstanding questions, and why press freedoms have taken a major step back under Trump's second term.

Every AI company knows they're building the wrong thing.

And they can't stop.

Because the competitive structure specifically punishes anyone who slows down long enough to build the right thing.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
