TEXT FROM FORBES:

White House Accord on Super Intelligence

Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities

In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.

This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe cach company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits:

  1. Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.
  2. Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated.
  3. Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.
  4. Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated.

Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended.

The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems.

Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone, and each of our companies are committed to doing this.

The best thing I did this summer was to read both of her books. Those two volumes–which I think should be read in order–are very clear about how America works when the most free people decide to act.

@WHCD2026 #WHCD2026 Aftermath: A Moment In Time For @POTUS And The #WhiteHousePressCorps

My Tweet a few minutes ago:

If you’re socialized in #MSM #journalism, like I’ve been for 40 years, last night’s extraordinary @POTUS #DonaldTrump presser was an almost romantic moment–a president under attack, #journalists running from an aborted “nerd prom” to the @WhiteHouse, shaken and a little stirred.

Well, the romance didn’t last long 🙂

#AmnestyInternational #HumanRights Report In #DonaldTrump #POTUS #POTUS47’s America, Released on #MLKDay #MLKDay2026

FROM AI:

Amnesty International defines human rights as fundamental freedoms and protections inherent to every person, based on dignity, equality, and respect, regardless of background. These rights, outlined in documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), are universal, inalienable, and indivisible, including civil/political rights (life, expression, fair trial) and economic/social/cultural rights (health, education, housing, work). 

Key Characteristics:

  • Universal: Apply to everyone, everywhere.
  • Inalienable: Cannot be taken away.
  • Indivisible & Interdependent: All rights are equally important and interconnected; taking one away affects others. 

Core Examples (from the UDHR):

  • Right to Life, Liberty, & Security: Freedom from slavery, torture, and arbitrary arrest.
  • Equality & Non-Discrimination: Equality before the law, regardless of race, sex, religion, etc..
  • Fair Trial & Justice: Right to a fair hearing and recourse for rights violations.
  • Freedom of Expression & Belief: Holding opinions, freedom of thought, religion, and peaceful assembly.
  • Economic & Social Rights: Right to education, health, adequate housing, food, and work.
  • Right to Asylum: Freedom to seek refuge from persecution. 

In essence, human rights ensure fair treatment and the ability to make choices about one’s life, forming the basis for a just and dignified existence for all people, protected by international law.
