Ukraine making its own drones (for cheap!) seems like big & somewhat encouraging news, given how competition over large-scale advanced manufacturing is heating up. Of course, not clear the US can do the same—especially while not being actively invaded. Enter Replicator..?

“We are aware of reports that Russia is examining the possibility of placing nuclear weapons in space.” —NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, via POLITICO In TIME, Andrew Hanna and I argue the U.S. can respond by forming an Allied Space Forces: time.com/7277034/us-all…

Re-upping this National Interest oped that Sam Bresnick and I wrote last week in light of the ongoing tariff debates TL;DR - it's crucial that the US rebuilds its manufacturing capacity, but broad-based tariffs that alienate allies is not the way 🧵 nationalinterest.org/feature/americ…

This is a really informative examination of U.S.-China AI competition across much of the developing world. Check it out!

Excited to have contributed along with so many other excellent thinkers in this space! If you’re at all interested in how we structure and develop the most effective human-machine teams to leverage the new, shiny, cutting-edge capabilities popping up, give it a read!

Excited to share a new piece Vikram Venkatram and I published today in National Interest . I'll warn you, this one's for the nerds. We dive deep into "march-in rights," a wonky but critical legal tool you've probably never heard of 🧵 nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…

Xi Jinping's generals are missing in action, victims of endless purges. In a NYT op-ed, Phil Saunders and I explain how this reflects a PLA advancing in capabilities, but lacking the confidence of the party elite. Willingness for war hangs in the balance. nytimes.com/2025/05/06/opi…

1/ The Trump admin may be about to greenlight the export of advanced AI chips to the Gulf. If it does so, it will place the most important technology of the 21st C at the whims of autocrats with expanding ties to China and interests very far from those of the US.

Super informative report outlining the risks of AI market concentration. Definitely worth a thorough read!

BIS just published three new guidance docs on advanced computing export controls: 1⃣ AI model training and catch-all (end use) controls: bis.gov/media/document… 2⃣ Preventing diversion: bis.gov/media/document… 3⃣ Huawei Ascend chips: bis.gov/media/document…

The White House just paused ALL visa interviews for foreign students. A disaster for longterm US competitiveness in emerging techs. Five months in, and the damage is adding up. A detailed account of the disruptions to US science, by month. 🧵 /40

Hoping we adopt a targeted approach to research security. But mass revocations of Chinese student visas will undermine US tech advantages. >80% of Chinese STEM PhDs stay in the US post-grad. When they do, the US benefits. Intl students are core to US S&T. Here's why 🧵 /15

My latest piece in Barron's explores why SpaceX has not experienced the same decline as Tesla in light of Elon Musk's decline in reputation. barrons.com/articles/trump…

Some of the wildest moments from Trump and Musk’s spat yesterday and what it might mean for SpaceX and the space industry as a whole 🧵

Thrilled to be named a The Andrew W. Marshall Foundation fellow!

What comes next in space after rockets and remote sensing? A new generation of space companies is working on advanced technologies. But what are they up to? A 🧵 on the next frontier of space innovation:

I went to south Florida, to the front lines of the battle with climate change that we're rapidly losing, to drive the biggest, fastest, most inconsiderate American climate change fighter, for men: the 9,500 pound, 1,000 horsepower electric Hummer.

The Pentagon’s innovation pipeline isn’t just slow—it’s broken. At DoD, we worked to translate strategy into budget and saw how hard it is to get next-gen tech to warfighters. In our latest National Interest, Michael C. Horowitz and I lay out steps to fix it. nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…
