• Global AI stocks fell today. Entirely consistent with my view that calls for AI safety are not an attempt at "regulatory capture" and entirely inconsistent with the supposedly cynic-sophisticated view that AI fears are all 4D chess moves for higher revenue. On stocks falling. Here is Claude: The public tape moved hard this morning. Global AI stocks fell on Monday, with SoftBank down sharply along with chip stocks from SK Hynix to ASML, Micron and Intel. SoftBank closed nearly 11% lower in Japan, the Kospi sank 3.3% on a 6.4% drop in SK Hynix, and ASML was off 6% in Europe. In the US, Marvell,…

• A Monday morning question for you: Timing influences communication. Talk about potential mistakes before they happen and people start looking for ways to prevent them. Talk about actual mistakes after they happen and people start looking for reasons to defend their actions. What do we need to be talking about now, so we can learn the lessons before we need them?

• A Monday morning question for you: I'm not usually awake from 5am to 6am, but when I am I tend to enjoy it. Start the day slow. Watch the sunrise. Get a few things done before everyone else wakes up. Meanwhile, I am often awake from 10pm to 11pm and I find that I tend to use it poorly. Passively watching TV or scrolling on a screen. Late-night snacking. Generally focusing on things that are fairly unimportant. Trading the last hour of the night for the first hour in the morning would be a pretty high-value trade for me. Which hours of your day tend to return the most value and which ones tend…

It involves irrationality; it involves all of those things that science has, by its own method, left out. Literature presents a messier, darker, and perhaps more complete, if less powerful, perspective on the world."
