Denied; not confirmed. No independent sourcing.
SCOOP: Last week the National Design Studio announced a new AI website, America.gov. Turns out some NDS workers are on loan to the government and are actually employed by a newly formed nonprofit, founded by the general counsel of SpaceXAI who is himself a DOGE alum.
🟢 UPDATE: Our Irkutsk 'plague' tracker has been continuously monitoring reports for any credible information, and our assessment of LOW credibility remains unchanged. Our assessment will update in real-time, if warranted. Bookmark our tracker here.

And yeah, to be clear, we're tracing the information warfare. Compared to the 'plague' itself, it is the real story.
Not especially, yet at least. Let's keep eyes on the facts.

I'm generally avoiding the 'contemporary political memoir' genre. Not that they're not valid but they often are self-promotional and contain little in the way of insights.
Some of us in San Francisco first heard of the Network State and related tech cults from Emily Mills.
She documented how these ideas had infused our local politics. It sounded odd at first, but her work sparked mine.
On Tuesday, we're onstage together in SF.
