Who is Tino Cuéllar, the ex-justice Anthropic trusts to coax the world into AI? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a hot and dry border town at the base of California’s Imperial Valley, the list of powerful alumni at Calexico High School is short. Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar is among them. Those who know him call him “Tino.” He was a California Supreme Court justice for six years before shed his black robes, in 2021, to serve as the Carnegie Endowment’s president for another five. Before that, he was a scholar of public law at Stanford University, an aide to the Barack Obama White House, and a chairman of
San Francisco Standard and its CEO sued for gender discrimination, harassment (opens the original)

The San Francisco Standard’s former director of growth has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the paper and its CEO, Griffin Gaffney, accusing him of making sexually explicit and demeaning comments involving women in the workplace. The lawsuit, filed by Julia Ryan on Sept. 9, alleges that in one instance, Gaffney said it took a “hot ass” to close a business deal and suggested that Ryan and others should obtain gym memberships for that reason.

California’s first AI safety law didn’t cover the first rogue AI hacks (opens the original)

The Budget and Finance Committee spent hours debating whether the contract — awarded to OpenGov by Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office last year without a formal bidding process — was even fair.

S.F. is poised to spend $33M more on OpenGov. It’s still only handling basic permits. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost a year ago, Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office awarded a $5.9 million contract for an ambitious overhaul of the city’s archaic permitting system to OpenGov, a largely untested tech firm with connections to his former nonprofit, Tipping Point. This occurred without a formal bidding process, and over the objections of departmental staff. At the time, the mayor’s office claimed OpenGov was the only vendor capable of rolling out the new system quickly enough. Since then, OpenGov has missed key deadl
