When people visit Pilgrim they are noticeably shocked by how simple it has been for us to obtain biological agents.
This is a major step in the right direction

Many DNA synthesis companies voluntarily screen orders to mitigate biosecurity risks, but no law requires them to do so.
Leaders in AI, biotech, life sciences, national security, and the nucleic acid synthesis industry agree that Congress should act to strengthen safeguards against biological threats.
@deanwball put it well in the WSJ:
“If you’re synthesizing the stuff that yields biological life and viruses, we’re asking you to screen to see whether it is dangerous in some way. That seems like a reasonable thing for society to insist upon.”

Announcing the Western Chemicals $4M Pre-Seed Fundraise!
We are now building the WORLD’S FIRST vertically integrated duckweed-to-ethanol plant capable of producing 10,000 gallons of fuel-grade ethanol annually.
Wastewater-to-fuel at planetary scale starts NOW!

Magnifica humanitas should be seen as a rallying cry for Christians to recapture the intellectual center of a critical technology. AI has always been a thinly disguised exercise in moral philosophy. In this sense, the terrain is new but it is fundamentally a Christian territory.

Fuels, chemicals, and plastics are a $6T market that powers EVERY car, plane, factory, and product in modern reality.
Today, they come from oil refineries, or from corn ethanol plants that burn through HALF of America's corn supply.
@DiscipulusVent founder @jared_western & the Western Chemicals team are building biochemical refineries that turn wastewater into the world's cheapest fuels to REINDUSTRIALIZE America🇺🇸

My central takeaway from the @AmericanAffrs essay by @hamandcheese and myself:
Chinese industrial policy for AI emphasizes open-sourcing, micro-firms, and immediate diffusion. The party seems content to promote competition between provinces and specialization in other cases

My latest with @efarrellgregory in @AmericanAffrs:
A deep dive into the mechanics of China's whole-of-government industrial policy for AI.

We haven't begun to imagine what state policy re AI will look like in the coming years--in the US or China.
Our examination of Chinese industrial policy goes into the details of their competitive orchestration, which is very far from top-down direction and nationalization

In @commonplc, I reviewed @ssankar and @Madeline_Zimm's new book : Mobilize
The book rightly argues that the state should learn best practices from firms.
But security in the 21st century requires more: a new synthesis between public and private interests. I'll explain 🧵: /1

It is clear, though, that the synthesis will rely on people like @ssankar , alongside the heroes of the book (Knudsen, Packard), has demonstrated an interest in turning his talents towards American greatness.
For what comes next, mobilizing is a starting place /6

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
