I am honestly a bit too lazy to update often enough here on the policy or work in general (which has been hectic).
So, time for NICE THINGS and invitations to my other projects.

Last month has been the most dramatical upheaval in international policy in quite some time, the AI race is escalating with clear trajectory to conflict and very _weird_ changes to world inevitable.

Just finished Superagency (published 28.1.) and have some strong opinions on it. If you are into AI optimism, might be interesting for you: or you can read what I think to be able to flex in bars or sthg.

The Commission has presented its Compass on how to make Europe competitive again.
It’s a weak 22 pages—if you understand how the EU strategy-making process works, read it. If not, I can offer some strong words on what I think about it.
