Ah, I like posts about what people are reading! Earlier I was compiling a list of the most interesting things I’ve read about AI this year and it’s striking to me that fiction seems the most durable, even though there have been a bunch of interesting papers. If you haven’t read them (and like fiction), I found Exhalation (Ted Chiang, short stories) and Klara and the Sun (Ishiguro) thought-provoking.
Also, I just read today’s post from JM Berger regarding a dystopia scenario he wrote in 2016 that is relevant to current events and politics (https://open.substack.com/pub/jmberger/p/expectations) and revisits what he got right and wrong. Touches on the X/Twitter problem too.
When a budget hasn't been passed since GWB, you could say that governing is not passing a CR and demanding accountability of the Congress. The definition of governance is staying within the bounds of laws/regulations/rules and being fiscally solvent. (at least that's what we hold businesses accountable for... Why not government?)

Great reads! I would want much more confirmation before reposting Rosenberg's tweet.
