    Is AI doomsday another bust? - R Street Institute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The world is going to end. Nobody knows how or when, but that doesn’t stop them from offering their predictions. The Mayan Calendar allegedly pinpointed Dec. 21, 2012 as the end of time, and climate activist Greta Thunberg seemed to forecast an apocalypse by 2023. None of these came to fruition – thankfully. The latest fear centers around artificial intelligence (AI), and it has been dominating headlines. A former Anthropic researcher named Jacob Coxon recently quit in protest and raised the ala

    The robots are here. One safely drove me around the block. - R Street Institute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I am a policy nerd – something most of my readers already know by now – and I acknowledge that you can only learn so much from debating theory and poring over data. Real-world experience provides an entirely new perspective. Despite writing about autonomous vehicle policy for years, I had not ridden in one until recently. I don’t think I should be faulted for this. They just don’t operate here. The closest city where they do is Atlanta where Waymo and Uber have teamed up, but I managed to finall

    Georgia’s rail dreams a taxpayer nightmare - R Street Institute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Few misguided love affairs seem to endure quite like government’s obsession with passenger rail. Policymakers see it as a lower-carbon emission alternative to flying or driving, a method of alleviating roadway and airport congestion and a form of government-backed economic development. Many officials as a result want rail, want it everywhere and want it now. The problem is that the promise of rail may not live up to its reality in the United States, but if bureaucrats get their way, more of it c

    Ignore Trump and Dems: Georgia elections among fairest in nation - R Street Institute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Georgia Republicans braced for the worst when President Trump recently teased a major announcement on election security. Given his sordid history of disputing Georgia’s 2020 election results — and the role those claims may have played in Republicans losing the state’s two Senate seats — many feared he would once again target the state’s elections. During his primetime TV address earlier this month, Trump stopped short of declaring Georgia’s current senators illegitimate, but he continued casting

    Don’t blame data centers for failed public policy - R Street Institute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Data centers have become a kind of boogeyman among voters lately. Recent polling even suggests that new data center construction is less popular than the IRS. Only 27% of Americans at least somewhat favor new data center construction, according to Gallup. Meanwhile, YouGov found that 28% of Americans have a favorable view of the IRS. This isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison, but anytime an industry polls worse than the IRS, it’s probably time to take stock in the situation. However, public sent
