Who Wanted Nvidia’s CEO Burned?

An American official walks into a Malaysian data center and finds a hoard of Nvidia equipment still in its boxes. Two years later, U.S. officials reportedly believe an executive at the company behind it, Alice Huang, is a Chinese intelligence asset, and Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair, understood to be with her. Huang has spent years arguing against American export controls on chips. Jacob Shapiro sets the affair aside and follows the leak. Beijing had little reason to burn that kind of leverage, which points back to a Washington security establishment that never wanted a deal. Blade Runner imagined corporations swallowing the state. Shapiro expects the reverse. -- (00:00) - Intro/Welcome (01:04) - The question that matters: who leaked this?

David Robinson, former OpenAI leader: Why I quit over safety

“It's a cultural thing. There's an aspect of this that's a Silicon Valley belief that what's invented in California has a special status. I implored colleagues to bring people in from other industries. And people said to me ‘well they can't imagine how powerful AI is, and they can picture what we're doing’ and there's really a sense that the people in the Bay Area are a special group with some special franchise to understand and deal with this technology.” Rick Edwards speaks to David Robinson, who until recently led safety and transparency at OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Robinson resigned because he no longer believed that the industry was doing enough to protect us from the risks posed by increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems. He warns that Silicon Valley’s culture of overconfidence is leaving us exposed to systems that are becoming harder to control. He explains what AI companies could learn from industries with decades of experience managing serious risks, and what needs to change to keep the technology safe.

More Siskos Than Picards

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan all signed the Mecca Accord after Washington began telling the region that its security was now the region's problem, and Iran is stuck in between a rock and a hard place. They can't afford to fall, nor can they afford to keep fighting - so says Kamran Bokhari. He calls is "a secretary general without a secretariat." Which is better than calling it nothing (I guess). After a chat about the middle east, Bokhari, of the New Lines Institute, and Jacob get into one of the most pertinent geopolitical events of this quarter - the death of Patrick Stewart. Jacob credits Jean-Luc Picard with more of his moral code than almost anyone, real or fictional. Picard was built for an age of hope. Benjamin Sisko was built for this one. (00:00) - Intro/Welcome (03:02) - America hands off the Middle East (07:03) - Why Iran's regime won't fall (11:51) - Can Iran come in from the cold?

US - Russia - Ukraine Tri-lateral Talks Yield Prisoner Exchange + US Moves Air Refueling Tankers from UK to Germany + IRGC Reveals Underground Missile Facility

For review: 1. The Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government said Wednesday that air defenses intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles and two drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi group toward different regions of Saudi Arabia. 2. Iran is producing 50 ballistic missiles a month, about half its prewar capacity, according to Western intelligence estimates reported on Wednesday, shortly before Iran unveiled a new underground “missile city.” 3. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has recently moved from his Washington, DC, residence to a US military base due to Iranian threats against his life, three people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. 4. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he sees no need to resume major combat operations against Iran because economic restrictions are working so effectively. 5. The US diverted refueling tankers from RAF Mildenhall on Monday because of a threat from Iran, WSJ reported. 6. After criticism from the US-backed Board of Peace over Israel’s restrictions on aid into the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Tuesday insisted that Israel was doing what it can to allow winter equipment into Gaza, and that Hamas, not Israel, was not honoring its commitments. 7. Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a major prisoner exchange following two days of US-mediated peace talks in Abu Dhabi, although negotiations ended without a breakthrough on the central issues dividing the two sides, Euronews reports from the UAE. 8. A White House decision on establishing a permanent US military base in Poland could come as early as next month, the country’s defense minister said following discussions with US War Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon.

Mo Ibrahim, philanthropist: Africa must not trade rights for development

“While we see great development in infrastructure, in economic opportunities, and we see development in also the area of education and health. We see major deterioration in security, rule of law, and also deterioration on rights, space for civil society has been shrinking. That is worrying. There cannot be trade-off between economic development or infrastructure and people's rights or even people's safety.” Dingindaba Buyoya speaks to Mo Ibrahim, the billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, which measures how well African governments serve their people. Ibrahim warns that progress in infrastructure and economic opportunity across Africa cannot compensate for declining rights and worsening security. He challenges military leaders who promised to make their countries safer, and questions whether the economic gains they claim to have delivered under their rule can last. He also argues that African leaders are increasingly taking their cues from powerful figures elsewhere in the world, reflecting a wider global shift towards strongman politics.

Lawfare Daily: Anthropic’s Safety Mission vs. Public-Company Pressure

Kevin Frazier, Director of the AI Innovation and Law Program at the University of Texas School of Law and a senior editor at Lawfare, speaks with Roberto Tallarita, assistant professor at Harvard Law School, about Anthropic's recently filed s-1 and its experiment in corporate governance. They discuss its current status as a public benefit corporation, its decision to create and empower a body of financially disinterested trustees, and its current unique class structure. Drawing on Tallarita’s research on stakeholder governance and unequal voting rights, the two also discuss what would make a commitment to safety precautions durable even when in stark tension with profit. Tallarita lays out some of his thoughts on what could come next for Anthropic in his recent article “Profit and Mission in Anthropic’s IPO.” Frazier also has recently written an analysis of Anthropic’s post-IPO governance.
