Trying to make a better world for all children should be the focus of every policy decision, by every leader, in every country, every time someone with authority speaks or adjusts any system that governs our lives. Period. Empathy is a superpower.

Everything Trump touches fails.

Brad Heath@bradheath.bsky.social

The number of people charged with federal felonies in Minnesota has plunged since Trump's immigration blitz. And more than a third of the charges prosecutors did manage to bring were against people involved in a protest that disrupted a church service.

Meanwhile the Chinese are undergirding their entire manufacturing sector with smaller reliable AI systems and restricting children from harmful use. When this bubble bursts the Chinese will be too far out in front for the US to catch up…because of hubris.

Absolutely love the brilliance @kedseconomist.com brings to this discussion with Scott and Ed. She is clear, articulate, empathetic, and thoughtful. #KAE2028!

I got to do one of my favorite things this week: spend an hour talking about big issues in the labor market and the economy. Thanks to Ed Elson and Scott Galloway for great questions and great conversation. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Trump doesn't understand why Iran won't play the role he cast them for in his reality TV presidency.

NPR@npr.org

Iran continued to target Gulf countries with ballistic missiles and drones Thursday as the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad issued a security alert warning of attacks by Iran-backed militias. n.pr/4dZF4FT

The jury found the companies’ negligence was a substantial factor in harms like the mental health issues sustained by a now 20-year-old woman Kaley G.M., who used Instagram and YouTube. Read more from @laurenfeiner.bsky.social:

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Anthropic accused the Trump administration of 'seeking to destroy' its economic value in a lawsuit that marks an escalation in a weeks-long dispute between the start-up and the Pentagon over the military use of its AI technology. ft.trib.al/w4zIMA3

Fun fact. My dad lived with Peter Tork for a couple of years in NY in the 60s. They stayed in contact until Peter's passing. We would see the Monkees when they were in town, and while in Los Angeles, my late-husband and I would see Peter play with his band, The Shoe Suede Blues in Santa Monica.

Anthropic has raised more than $60 billion from over 200 "venture capital" investors, half of which came just last month. That massive investment is now at risk due to a contract dispute with the Pentagon that's become as much about ego as AI. www.axios.com/2026/03/02/a...

"From desktops to drones, students to soldiers, classrooms to command posts, the same technology collecting behavioral data on our children is held by a company with no meaningful federal oversight and a CEO with a documented history of dishonesty."

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Do you all remember that movie, where the president of the United States was involved in a major sex scandal…so he went to war in Albania to keep the media distracted from the sex scandal? I think it was called Wag The Dog. Don’t know why I’m thinking about that right now.

The entire tech industry runs on surveillance capital. AI will be worse since it is harvesting the base elements of human thought.

Paris Marx@parismarx.com

People saying OpenAI reporting a user it banned for posts about gun violence would be mass surveillance are fucking idiots. The tech industry *is* mass surveillance. There is no genAI or ChatGPT without mass data collection on everyone. Don’t like mass surveillance? Stop using fucking chatbots.

We are only beginning to understand what it means for children to grow up with systems that speak fluently, respond instantly, and sound human - while having none of the human grounding underneath.”

"When a child asks about loneliness, the system returns an answer calibrated to adult loneliness... The answer sounds right. It may be entirely wrong for an 11-year-old trying to find their footing. We choose age‑appropriate books for kids, but give them AI systems trained on adult experiences."
