One of the biggest election stories no one's talking about: the US Democratic primaries are becoming a proxy war between rival AI factions, with candidates tuning their strategies accordingly. My latest Substack digs into how that happened.

Scatter plot titled "Political alignment with AI industry: Strategies employed by US politicians in summer 2026." Vertical axis ranges from accelerationist (bottom) to cautionary (top); horizontal axis from blue districts (left) to red districts (right). Labeled examples: Bores—"Invite the attack"; Rutinel—"Stay quiet, let allies shield you"; Lawrence—"Frame it as land, not ideology"; Lasher—"Take the money, mock the PACs"; Whitmer—"Pitch growth to older voters."

I've just signed a petition calling on the richest governments to tax the profits of oil and gas companies. It’s completely unfair that those who did the most to cause the climate crisis stand to profit from more destruction and war while we pay the price. You can sign it here:

Tax polluters' profits now!
The war in the Middle East is taking hundreds of lives while also causing oil and gas prices to surge – and fossil fuel companies are cashing in, while families struggle with rising bills. The richest countries must tax these polluters' profits now! Let’s make them pay!

This except from Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath stings like a taser:

The decay spreads over the State, and the sweet smell is a great sorrow on the land. Men who can graft the trees and make the seed fertile and big can find no way to let the hungry people eat their produce. Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a system whereby their fruits may be eaten. And the failure hangs over the State like a great sorrow. The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thin…

RNG: Flat Datacenter Networks at Scale
We design and deploy in production the first flat datacenter networks. Our design, called RNG, is based on quasi-random graphs. While the cost and fault-tolerance benefits of such topologies have been long known, their practical realization has been hampered by a lack of scalable routing and cabling approaches. RNG has a new distributed routing protocol that exploits the properties of random graphs to find a large number of edge disjoint paths between pairs of endpoints. It uses a novel passive…

Under the administration’s own legal theory,
a president could destroy some of America’s most iconic landmarks
and then argue that the courts are unable to undo the damage once it has been done

Page by Alt National Park Service | @altnps.bsky.social
Many people suspected this was the strategy, and now it is being argued in court. The Trump admin’s position is that if it moves quickly enough to dismantle or alter public assets, courts may be unable to stop it after the fact. In effect, “move fast and break things” is becoming a legal defense. D...
