Texas Republicans have sounded alarms about voter fraud for years. But after Tuesday’s blue tsunami, Paxton, Abbott and even Trump stopped short of challenging the results. My take on why — and why that change may not last: expressnews.com/news/article…

During the March primary, an 82-year-old voter asked Bexar County if it had received her mail ballot. Pollworkers told her yes. But months later, the Elections Department told her it never received it. She’s not alone. My latest on missing mail ballots: expressnews.com/news/article…

Writers & anyone else submitting a book proposal to me: Pls avoid using AI to write OR edit. A proposal that trips up AI detectors at publishing houses is almost certainly going to get a pass. If you want to be strategic pls do the thinking and writing BEFORE going to agents.

.@SarahLongwell25: "Right now, the number one New York Times bestseller is Ted Cruz's biography of Clarence Thomas. The only thing I want in the world right now is to knock Ted Cruz off the New York Times bestseller list."

In the @airbnbhelp customer service vortex again. Booked a property for August in May and the host has just cancelled the booking. Nothing available. Apparently nothing can be done.

It's been 6 months since The Truth About Immigration went on sale. The best part of the experience, hands down, has been to receive message like this one I received yesterday. I love hearing from total strangers who picked up the book with no predetermined agenda -- or maybe a bit of skepticism -- and found their views illuminated. If you haven't had the chance to read it yet, I hope you will. With so much being said about #immigration right now, what could be more important than learning the truth through compelling evidence and stories?

I’ll have more information in the new year, but I wanted to let people know I’m launching a new book review publication and literary magazine with Sam Kahn and Lou Bahet called The Metropolitan Review. Too few books get reviewed in America and we hope to change that. More TK!

What is Ilya doing next? Check out Safe Superintelligence from @ilyasut, @danielgross, and @daniellevy__ Here's a good morning read for inspiration
Superintelligence is within reach. Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of our​​ time. We've started the world’s first straight-shot SSI lab, with one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence. It’s called Safe Superintelligence Inc. SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI. We approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead. This way, we can scale in peace. Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures. We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent. We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else. If that’s you, we offer an opportunity to do your life’s work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age. Now is the time. Join us. Ilya Sutskever, Daniel Gross, Daniel Levy June 19, 2024

Replying to @kimballscott
@kimballscott does it again! There are so many books about loving your work―but so few about how to love the people you work with. This beautifully written, wise and practical guide shows us how both are possible. Check out their book: kimmalonescott.com/radical-r…

I’m @TIME today, I had the chance to share an adapted excerpt from The Battle for Your Brain, making the case for why #CognitiveLiberty is the right we should all be talking about in the current moment.
Anyone who values their ability to have private thoughts and ruminations should care about cognitive liberty, writes Nita Farahany ti.me/3Ps4tMp

Crucial reminder from @EJDionne to remember the victims here: "Republicans decided to hold the economy hostage to slash assistance for low-income Americans while protecting tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s a factual statement, not a partisan complaint." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Just finished reading The Revenge of Power by Moisés Naím. SO DAMN GOOD. Brilliant analysis of why authoritarianism is on the rise (polarization, populism, and post-truth) and what we can all do about it. us.macmillan.com/books/97812…

The perfect nonfiction proposal has four parts: the summary, the selling, the stories, and the structure. It’s going to be about 4-8000 words.
