President Donald Trump dismissed AI safety warnings and opposition to data centers as a “hoax,” attacking Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s proposal to slow research down https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/trump-ai-data-centers-anthropic-dario-amodei.html?_bhlid=0edaa7ec47f9838bfc8c614781e99a546430e106

Chinese leader Xi Jinping said during his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump that the two nations can “jointly prevent the misuse and abuse of AI” through more cooperation. #🇨🇳 ChinA.I. 🤖🧠🦾🤖 Trump and Xi held talks on Thursday at the White House, and a major topic on the agenda was AI safety and governance. The Chinese leader said “AI must be kept under human control,” according to a readout of the talks published by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Xi also said that the U.S. and China both have strong AI capabilities and “the right thing to do is to draw on each other’s strengths, not guard against each other.” The White House has not released any readout or details of the two leaders’ meeting on Thursday. How to ensure #Artificial Intelligence safety has become a critical question for tech leaders, policymakers and regulators. Earlier this month, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for leading labs to slow the development of advanced AI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis and xAI chief Elon Musk all expressed their support for the idea of pacing the frontier. #ScholER #A Glance of China 行摄中国 https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xw/zyxw/202609/t20260925_12031181.html?utm_campaign=%5BREBRAND%5D+%5BTI-AM%5D+Th&utm_content=1095&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cio&utm_term=124

OpenAI announced on Wednesday that Paul Christiano, a senior technical advisor at the U.S. Commerce Department’s AI center, would be joining the board of the OpenAI Foundation, the charity that has a 26% stake in the company. Christiano will also be a non-voting observer on the board of OpenAI’s for-profit company. #REAL Truth Christiano previously worked at OpenAI as a member of its technical staff until 2021, when he created the nonprofit Alignment Research Center. He joined the Biden administration’s AI Safety Institute in April 2024 as the head of safety. The institute was renamed the Center for AI Standards and Innovation under President Trump amid a restructuring, and Christiano remained as a senior technical advisor. According to his LinkedIn profile, Christiano returned to the Alignment Research Center as executive director in July, though he still lists his White House advisor position as current. OpenAI said that Christiano will join the safety and security committee of the foundation’s board, which provides governance across all of OpenAI. “AI capabilities have advanced very rapidly in the last year and alignment remains a difficult technical problem,” he said in a statement. Other board members include BNY CEO Robin Vince, Carnegie Mellon professor Zico Kolter, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. https://openai.com/index/paul-christiano-joins-openai-foundation-board/?utm_campaign=%5BREBRAND%5D+%5BTI-AM%5D+Th&utm_content=1095&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cio&utm_term=124

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is never out of the news, but he got attention in the past day or so for his claim, in an interview with the New York Times’ Ezra Klein, that he doesn’t know his own address. When Klein expressed doubt, Huang doubled down, saying, “It’s completely true” and insisting that a “few years ago” he had to pump gas and didn’t know his own ZIP code. He also doesn’t know his phone number, he claimed. #ScholER The Nvidia CEO said, “I forget these things.” (Maybe he has early-onset Alzheimer’s—joke!!!) Huang cites knowing your home address as an example of basic skills people don’t really need in an era of AI. (He puts basic math skills in the same boat). #Brain Journey Network It’s a bit hard for an ordinary being to understand how anyone can go through life not knowing where they live. Sure, a CEO like Huang, who is constantly traveling, likely has people who drive him everywhere and handle his every need. But still, is he really that disconnected from ordinary life? #Artificial Intelligence https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-jensen-huang.html?utm_campaign=article_email&utm_content=article-17884&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sg

Elon Musk lamented a global “crisis of power” on Tuesday as the Tesla and SpaceX CEO spoke virtually at a G20 innovation event hosted in North Carolina by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Commerce Department. Musk cited a likely 15 gigawatt shortage of power next year for AI chips, calling on other countries to build data centers that could service AI companies desperate for computing capacity. In a brief virtual interview with Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios, Musk predicted that AI will grow the global economy by 20-30% annually. He also predicted that a billion humanoid robots—including those Musk’s Tesla are building—will be available in the next decade. The robots will be five times more productive than humans, he said. Musk’s compensation package at Tesla is partially tied (https://e.customeriomail.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6ImRnU2kwUVlDQUplSkJwYUpCZ0dnWWNjano1b2hGeUFIRnpKR3RWWT0iLCJocmVmIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZHcuY29tL2VuL2Vsb24tbXVzay1jb3VsZC1iZWNvbWUtYS10cmlsbGlvbmFpcmUtdGVzbGEtc3BhY2V4L2EtNzQ2ODQ3NTY_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPSU1QlJFQlJBTkQlNUQrJTVCVEktQU0lNUQrVGhcdTAwMjZ1dG1fY29udGVudD0xMDk1XHUwMDI2dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbFx1MDAyNnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y2lvXHUwMDI2dXRtX3Rlcm09MTI0IiwiaW50ZXJuYWwiOiJhMmQxMDYwMzg2NGE5Nzg5MDYifQ/a6ad138ba89190de25044ef71637c8334dd437c5b380a8e7717ca9153adda268) to the success of the company’s robot product, dubbed Optimus. Opening the program, Kratsios said the event is designed to build consensus around the “Carolina Principles, or guidelines that encourage companies to invest in frontier technologies while adopting limited regulation. After Musk spoke, former White House AI czar David Sacks derided the idea of the U.S. government building a “FDA for AI” that would approve new AI models before companies release them to the public.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are expected to speak on Wednesday during the second day of the event.

This same strategy has been used by the British empire when it existed. Famously the Brits sold opium to China for Silver to destroy their economy. #Topic of War As the USA has turned in on itself they have lost support from their traditional allies and democratic countries. Instead of a traditional military invasion of Taiwan, China could execute a coast guard quarantine to inspect incoming ships. This non-lethal tactic would disrupt energy supplies and strain Taiwan's economy while creating confusion in global military responses, ultimately coercing a yield through gradual erosion. #Taipei Tech Forum https://medium.com/discourse/chinas-plan-to-conquer-the-united-states-and-the-west-in-3-simple-steps-861e621f51d6
