I'm excited to share a new paper showing that interdependence is not incombatible with war but rather a resource for combatants. Geolocated internet measurement data provides a proxy for interdependent institutions. Russian outages in Ukraine vary by maneuver, attrition, and punishment strategies.

The targeting cycle cannot win a misguided war, and some times it cannot even target.

"A professional military will be better at winning wars of necessity, which is why it is important to have one if you can afford it. But the same professional forces can also be employed in stupid wars of choice."
Really, really worth a read

“Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced,” Madison wrote,...the aggrandized power and honors the executive enjoys in wartime means “the temptation would be too great for any one man.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

It was fantastic to join SSP to chat about my new book, which has a traceable lineage through my previous book, that began as an MIT dissertation. I am biased as an alum, obviously, but there's nothing like SSP, and the next generation of students is as fantastic as ever.

I can say with 99.99% confidence that the actual trajectory is somewhere in this range. There is a small chance that it could be even better or worse.

The discourse around AGI has become eschatology—a religious tale of the end times.
But a lot of it is just scatology—bullshit meant to persuade without interest in truth.
