A Portal into Pandemonium
Years ago, during the first Trump administration, our organization led a Swamp Tour of DC, taking a bus around the city and describing how various swamp monsters earned their spot on a tour of DC’s most corrupt and self-serving political operatives. Today, as our Jeff Hauser and Timi Iwayemi recently wrote in The American Prospect, the swamp runneth over: we are living through by far the most corrupt presidency in U.S. history.

Democrats Must Oppose the AI Industry
As currently constructed, AI is an oligarchy-enriching, worker-immiserating, energy-depleting, brain-rotting economic bubble in waiting. Democrats can get on the public’s side here.

This is Who the Tech Wonder Boys Always Were
These are not good people. They do not bat an eye at facilitating a mental health epidemic, hurting millions of people with reckless foreign aid cuts, destroying our media ecosystem, or even abetting genocide. Any tent able to accommodate their outsized egos and influence will have no room for the common good or basic human decency.

Corruption Calendar Week 30: The Value of Trump’s Grifts
With the National Guard haunting the streets of Washington, D.C., it’s been an ominous week. DC takeover aside, the most immediately visible expressions of Trump’s efforts to consolidate and expand his power are: the administration’s ongoing multi-pronged efforts to let corporations break the law with impunity while raking in record profits; a new shakedown tactic to secure a cut of technology sales to China; and an attack on the research grant process, which is critical to scientific pursuits across the country.

Uber Wrong
In his latest broadside against the left, Mattew Yglesias took aim at longtime critics of Uber’s blatant lawbreaking. In Yglesias’s view, these critics who range from anti-monopoly voices like Lina Khan to anti-corruption experts like our own Jeff Hauser and academics focused on financial regulation like Professor Hillary Allen, constitute a coterie of economics-hating zealots eager to make people’s lives worse.

The book is fascinating and surprisingly fun—with Wang’s piercing dry wit interspersed at a near perfect frequency. It’s also frustrating. While the character of the engineering state is superbly developed, the points where its American “lawyerly” counterpart is brought into the mix are more tenuous.
