Monday 16 March, 2026 ## Tulips and memory lane Fresh tulips and, in the background, one of my favourite photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson. It was taken in 1954 in _Rue Mouffetard_ in Paris. I love it because the cheery lad in the picture is the same age as me (if he’s still around). And I guess I am retrospectively jealous of him: no 8-year old growing up in in rural Ireland in the 1950s, as I did, would have been entrusted with bringing home two bottles of water, never mind _Vin Rouge_. Not that we ever drank wine in our house. The sketch on the right is by one of my sons when he was a schoolboy. * * * ## Quote of the Day > ”The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” * Bertrand Russell Agreed. * * * ## Musical alternative to the morning’s radio news Pete Seeger | This Land is Your Land Link Lovely song, lovely moment. But now seems quaintly innocent.. * * * ## Long Read of the Day **The Resistance Comes for OpenAI** Splendid blast by Scott Galloway on the lesson we should all learn from Anthropic’s stand against the Department of ‘War’. > Enter Dario Amodei, the Jekyll to Altman’s Hyde. During a recent contract negotiation with the Department of Defense, Anthropic refused to remove safeguards prohibiting the use of the company’s technology in autonomous weapons and the mass surveillance of Americans, believing those applications can’t be safely and reliably performed by today’s AI. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded with a shakedown: The U.S. would brand Anthropic a supply chain risk or seize their tech via the Defense Production Act. To Hegseth, the corporation isn’t an entity, subject to a fair legal system, that creates the profits that help fund the Defense Department, but an entity that is either with us, or against us. If this movie starring man-children hopped up on steroids they buy at gas stations sounds familiar, trust your instincts. Law firms, universities, and Big Tech have bent the knee, while the rest of corporate America has adopted a duck-and-cover strategy in the face of tariffs that are both illegal and stupid, i.e., hurting others while hurting ourselves. > > In contrast, Amodei stood up … for humanity, safety, and the rule of law… Do read it. And if you’ve downloaded the ChatGPT app, delete it. From now on I’ve decided that henceforth I’ll ask everyone who tells me they use it a simple question: “why?” Other, less ethically challenged, options are available, like Anthropic’a *Claude.ai. And, in my experience they’re better. * * * ## Books, etc. **AI and human augmentation** Screenshot This might be interesting. It’s coming out soon from MIT Press. According to the blurb, it > cuts through all the hype and noise around AI by returning to a central, often overlooked question: What is intelligence actually for? Rather than aiming to build autonomous superintelligent agents, AI leaders Erik Larson and Chee-We Ng argue in this book that we should focus on systems that support and extend human judgment, understanding, and decision-making—capacities that the current AI largely ignores. I’m in favour of all those things, and so will be interested to see what the authors make of them. Their book might go well with Ethan Mollick’s book — which I often recommend to people who ask me for a pragmatic introduction to the AI stuff. * * * ## My commonplace booklet From Nick Carr’s _Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart_: > One way to think about artificially intelligent text-generation systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot is as clairvoyants. They are mediums that bring the words of the past into the present in a new arrangement. The large language models, or LLMs, that power the chatbots are not creating text out of nothing. They’re drawing on a vast corpus of human expression—a digitized _Spiritus Mundi_ composed of billions of documents—and through a complex, quasi-mystical statistical procedure, they’re blending all those old words into something new, something intelligible to and requiring interpretation by a human interlocutor. When we talk to chatbots, we are, in a way, communing with the dead. * * * **This Blog is also available as an email three days a week. If you think that might suit you better, why notsubscribe?

Monday 2 March, 2026 ## On the road Walking along this road in the Peak District on Saturday I was stopped in my tracks by a Skylark’s song. Which explains today’s Musical alternative * * * ## Quote of the Day > ”I am lucky to have participated in conversations about the future of AI with executives and builders at frontier labs, economists at AI conferences, AI investors, and other bigwigs at off-the-record dinners where important truths can theoretically be bandied about without risk. And if I had to pick three words to summarize this collective expert view of the future, I could not in a million years, or with a trillion tokens, find three words more suitable than these: Nobody knows anything.” * Derek Thompson * * * ## Musical alternative to the morning’s radio news Ralph Vaughan Williams | The Lark Ascending | Iona Brown & Neville Marriner | Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Link It was inspired by an 1881 poem of the same title by George Meredith. Having read it a couple of times, I think the music wins by a mile. * * * ## Long Read of the Day **AI vs. the Pentagon** I guess that most people will regard what’s going on between the American Secretary for War (née Defense) and the AI firm Anthropic is petty arcane. But it’s actually really important and worrying, and I was looking for someone who could put it in a context that would make it understandable, and I found this long blog post by Jasmine Sun which admirably fits the bill. > Who would win in a fight: an alcoholic Fox host with a fetish for extrajudicial airstrikes, or a neurotic Italian-American physicist running an AI company worth $380 billion dollars? > > I’ll start with a TL;DR of everything that’s happened. The whole thing plays out like a TV thriller, and I don’t blame anyone not keeping up. (Fellow situation monitorers, feel free to skip ahead to the analysis if you like.) > > In July last year, Anthropic signed a $200 million contract with the Pentagon to provide access to Claude. Until recently, Anthropic was the only leading AI lab whose services could be used on classified networks. The company was eager to cooperate with the US military, even partnering with Palantir. But when Claude was used for the January capture of Nicolas Maduro, that allegedly miffed an employee inside Anthropic, which got leaked back to the Pentagon. A pissed-off Pete Hegseth wanted to make super sure that Anthropic was down for anything he wanted, citing “all lawful uses”—which under US military law, means basically whatever. And that was where things got messy. > > The thing is, Anthropic’s original DoW contract included two exceptions for military use: their AI could not be used for domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. But Hegseth ignored this, demanding that the Pentagon retain full discretion over how they use Claude. When Anthropic said no, he threatened to designate Anthropic a “supply chain risk”: a highest-tier national security designation usually reserved for companies like Huawei run by foreign adversaries. (Even Tencent and DeepSeek are not tarred with this label.) Anthropic was given a strict Friday 5pm deadline to comply with the DoW’s request. > > Days passed while Hegseth’s ultimatum hung in the air. Then, on Thursday, Dario Amodei published a statement: “These threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.” The AI community praised his courage. For a moment, there was celebration. > > Well, Secretary Hegseth was not bluffing. He moved ahead with designating Anthropic a supply chain risk. In a long and dumb tweet, he calls the company’s behavior a “master class in arrogance and betrayal” and “a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.” (He also uses the phrase “defective altruism,” which I must admit is pretty good.) > > But the implications are severe… They sure are — for democracy, human safety and security. Do read on. **Footnote** For other worthwhile takes on the crisis, see Henry Farrell on why the tech industry should fear this precedent and Jack Shanahan on what makes this different. * * * ## The Intention economy My _Observer_ column of 20 February. > Did the advent of chatbots and LLMs (large language models) herald the demise of the attention economy? And, if so, what might replace it? > > The most interesting answer to that question I’ve seen comes in a paper by two Cambridge researchers, Yaqub Chaudhary and Jonnie Penn, in the Harvard Data Science Review. Their thesis is that we are at the dawn of a “lucrative yet troubling new marketplace for digital signals of intent”, from buying cinema tickets to voting for political candidates. > > They call this the “intention economy”: a marketplace for behavioural and psychological data that signals human intent. It goes beyond capturing attention, to capturing what users want and “what they want to want” and operates through natural language interfaces powered by LLMs… Do read the whole piece. pdf version here * * * ## My commonplace booklet From Azeem Azahr: > Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropic a national security supply chain risk, effectively barring federal contractors from using its technology in government work. Hours later, Trump directed every federal agency to follow suit. No Chinese AI company has received the same designation. It’s quite an astonishing sucker-punch. > > The proximate cause was Anthropic’s refusal to lift all safety constraints on military use of Claude, around autonomous targeting and AI-assisted mass surveillance. These aren’t unreasonable positions; they reflect genuine technical concerns about where AI capability ends and unacceptable risk begins. But the punishment for holding them was disproportionate, a tool designed for compromised semiconductor supply chains and foreign hardware manufacturers, repurposed to punish an American AI lab. This seems to me a very good reason for supporting Anthropic — and for using (and paying for) Claude.ai — which I’ve done almost from the outset. * * * **This Blog is also available as an email three days a week.
