Politics How AI Is Splitting the Right Conservatives are divided on how to approach the technology. One of the many drawbacks of living in an era of ultra-polarization is that politics have become quite boring. It may seem odd to say that in the Age of Trump, when every week brings some new bombshell, but when we consider politics qua politics—that is, as a serious attempt to answer the question of who gets what, when, and how—there is a depressing predictability to the positions taken by the major actors. From abortion to tax policy to voter fraud, the battle lines are drawn, the incentives clear, the tracks well-worn. AI is…Open
State of the Union: The task force leaders include experts and business leaders from across the political spectrum. The post Marc Andreessen Among Appointees to New Federal Reserve Task Forces appeared first on The American Conservative .

Screenshot via X Silicon Valley's most powerful venture firm helped launch a 24/7 livestream on X Monday, joining a wave of tech money piling into the news cycle as the internet's hottest new asset class. Why it matters: "Monitoring the situation" — the theme of Polymarket's pop-up D.C. bar , and now the name of a new show (MTS) funded by Andreessen Horowitz — has become one of the most viral and lucrative memes in tech. - The phenomenon sprouted from Elon Musk's X, a platform now dominated by independent creators, amateur intel analysts and prediction markets that treat real-time news as a spectator sport. - A permanent breaking-news cycle — President Trump's second term, the Iran war, daily AI shocks…
