My office is hiring an Artificial Intelligence Policy Fellow to help shape AI legislation and track AI developments in the private sector as Congress works to keep pace with the technology.
Experience in AI, policy research, or national security is encouraged.
The new fellow being hired by @RepNateMoran looks set to be the only staffer recruited directly by a member of Congress to focus exclusively on AI
Will more follow? Story by @vronirwin

Palantir sells governments a war room that costs millions a year.
So, a guy named Elie just rebuilt it, put it on GitHub, and gave it away.
It's called World Monitor.
Open it and you get a live 3D globe with 500+ news feeds pouring in across 15 categories, all summarized by AI as they land.
> Military movements.
> Economic shocks.
> Natural disasters.
> Cyber incidents.
> Flight paths.
> Shipping lanes.
+ 56 different map layers you can stack on top of each other.
It scores 31 countries on a stress index and updates the number as things happen.
It watches 29 stock exchanges, commodities, and crypto in one panel.
It runs local AI through Ollama, so you can use the whole thing without a single API key.
Native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 25 languages. Works out of the box after one clone.

“I was recently in Shenzhen… talking to one of that country’s legendary businessmen. I asked him about the Iran war and his response surprised me. “For us, Trump’s attack on Iran is less consequential than his threat to attack Greenland,” he told me.” 1/9
In the United States, President Trump’s periodic insults hurled toward allies get treated as routine tantrums.
But in those countries, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point.

Here is my interpretation of the history of 'Toryism'.
The first Tory Party (1679-circa 1740s): a party trying to defend the pre-Glorious Revolution social, constitutional and religious order, despite nominally accepting the Glorious Revolution.

Anyone else notice subtle portion reductions at local restaurants? Fancy places won’t do it, of course, they’ll just jack up the filet mignon to $75 from $65. But your favorite lunch place might. It’s a common response to recession I remember from 1990s Turkey and the like.

Especially when its politics, such as they are, encourage the denial of public health risks.

Big thanks to Senator @BrianSchatz for inviting me to today’s ‘Conservatives for Climate Change’ hearing.

Um....that’s also how Corbyn was chosen. That’s how the British system works. What is the point of this post
