Dr. Makridis and I had a wonderful conversation exploring the role of management policy and other “complements” in facilitating AI diffusion. Let us know your thoughts. We hope to see you at TPRC this year! @idpp.bsky.social @sisresearch.bsky.social @internetgovlab.bsky.social @kogodbiz.bsky.social

🌴The third installment of the TPRC Summer Poolside Chat Series is here! Join @derrickcogburn.bsky.social and Christos Makridis for a conversation on "Measuring AI Beyond Compute" and why AI's real-world impact depends on more than just model performance. Watch now: youtu.be/A9d4-TtwIEk

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

Buttigieg: Our political and economic and social systems have been letting us down for a long time. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. That old status quo, all of that is what led to all of this which is why there's no going back.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

We took a Waymo in Los Angeles, twice, and absolutely loved the experience. I can’t wait until they are approved for the DMV. Part of what I liked about it was the screen showing how much data the car was taking into consideration, constantly. Cars, pedestrians, trash cans, pets, etc. I felt safe.

Waymo, Alphabet's robotaxi company, began as a secret project known as the Google Self-Driving Project. The company now provides millions of paid, fully autonomous rides. https://bit.ly/3QHsAcy

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.
