Pacing the Frontier, signed by employees of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and other labs.
To realize AI’s potential, industry, government, and society at large may need the option to buy time to address emerging risks, develop security measures, and strengthen oversight.
Foothills of the singularity.
A new this.how page for RSS.chat. I'll point to it from blog posts.

TechCrunch reporting about the grid:
The largest electrical grid in the U.S. has struggled to cope with an onslaught of data centers. Now, after an auction to add more generating capacity fell short, the grid’s operator, PJM Interconnection, has said it will cut off data centers and other large users during power shortages.
Totally reasonable. In fact, the new OpenAI data center in Georgia announced last week has this partially baked in, saying they will “proactively reduce its power consumption before residential customers are impacted during periods of high demand”.
On a post yesterday, I accidentally used the HTML tag <strike> instead of <del>. Just noticed that Mastodon doesn’t display <strike>, so I edited my blog post. Very cool to see Mastodon update as the edit change came through via ActivityPub.
The Great Mouse Detective was released 40 years ago. Cartoon Brew has a look back at it and many other animated detectives.
Love that movie, will never forget seeing it in the theater as a kid. That and seeing the original Transformers had a big influence on my love for animation.
Our companion app for recording short podcasts Wavelength is getting a full redesign. Thanks to @vincent for the great work on it! Here’s a set of screenshots for a sneak peek. Hope to submit to Apple and Google this week.
Digging into Streamplace. It appears to store video and audio tracks as blobs and then uses HTTP content ranges to stream the data. Micro.blog uses HTTP live streaming, very different. But I could cross-post to Streamplace.

So much in my mind and notebooks. It’s good. Last week I started a page with rough ideas which I might implement at some point. It’s at /ideas/. Comic-Con was so great. Still a few more days to get in an entry to this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. In a few days will be Send a...
Dave Winer blogging about a new WordPress → RSS.chat integration from Matthias Pfefferle:
Matthias didn’t need to tell us about what he did until it was done. That my friends is how the web works, that’s what I’ve been trying to show you, and now it has been shown. In a way the clock has gone back to the world before Twitter when events like this happened pretty routinely.
The easiest way to tell if a platform is open or not: do you need to ask permission to integrate with it? Open: RSS, IndieWeb, Bluesky, Mastodon, Micro.blog. Closed: Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube.
Finished reading: Elsecaller / King Lopen the First by Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, and Isaac Stewart. Two short stories, and so they naturally felt a little rushed by Stormlight standards. Nice to fill in a missing piece with Jasnah from Words of Radiance. 📚
The twelfth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 12, I chat with Georgie, the author of Hey Georgie about, among other things, writing about travelling, blogging as a self-reflection tool, why someone should start a personal website today, and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.

https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/bizzoandfriends/bizzo-amp-friendsI would bet at least 80% of people who say they read every line of code their AI agents write, don’t.
I’ve been thinking about this too. I blogged years ago in February that I read or skim everything. Still mostly true, but there’s more skimming, and I no longer read unit tests.

BTW, I had no idea the WordPress connection was coming and here it is.
