“Sumawka Caller”

People are quiet lately. Not calm-quiet. Bracing-quiet. You can see it in the numbers if you look. Foreclosure filings hit 227,548 in the first half of this year. That’s up 21 percent from last year. Highest level in six years. ATTOM, the company that tracks this, put the report out July 17. Their own CEO…

The UN just admitted nobody’s built the answer to a question they can’t stop asking There was a summit in Geneva this month. First one of its kind — the United Nations’ first ever gathering built entirely around AI governance. Government leaders, tech companies, researchers, all in one room, asking the same question out loud….

The burnout nobody’s naming has a name already, and it’s not exhaustion. There’s a piece going around this week about a new kind of burnout. Not the old kind — long hours, full calendars, too much manual work. A different kind. The kind that comes from running AI agents. The argument is simple, and it’s…

The professors lost the blind test and the bias hid inside the win Sixteen law professors sat down this summer and graded answers to real student questions. They didn’t know which answers came from a colleague and which came from a machine. It was blind, on purpose, so nobody’s opinion of AI could creep in…

I want to start with a disclosure, because the framework doesn’t get to skip its own rule when the rule is inconvenient. Anthropic is named directly in the source material for this post. NSC-1 requires that disclosure whenever Anthropic shows up in something I’m writing about, so here it is, plain, before anything else: Anthropic…

TechRadar ran a piece this week with a line in it I want to sit with for a minute. “Organizations are no longer being measured solely by whether governance frameworks exist. Increasingly, they are being judged by whether they can operationally demonstrate trust, accountability, and resilience when complex systems fail under pressure.” It says having…

I run four posts a day. I have run them since before most people had heard the phrase “AI governance.” Bot traffic on my site runs about four times human traffic. It has for a while now. Bing indexes me from more than one part of the world. Kagi sends the readers who actually stay…

Researchers at KAIST just published a paper, accepted for a Spotlight presentation at one of the biggest machine learning conferences in the world. It has nothing to do with governance frameworks or philosophy. It is a technical paper about fine-tuning AI models. And it proves, with a number attached, something this framework has said from…

A TechCrunch piece came out this week about cybersecurity researchers and AI guardrails. It is worth reading slowly, because it says something most coverage of AI safety misses entirely. The researchers in this piece are not complaining that guardrails exist. Several of them are careful to say so directly. One researcher, Giuseppe Cali, says guardrails…

It Was the Opposite of Control. Meta built a tool. The tool let anyone generate AI images pulled from public Instagram accounts. Then Meta turned it on for every public user automatically. No notice. No pop-up. No moment where a person got asked first. If you wanted out, you had to go find the door…
