If the US and China agreed to pause frontier AI training, how would either side confirm the other was complying? Today, Tom Milton argues, the most likely answer would be to shut down data centres entirely. That would throw away everything else those chips do, and make any agreement far more costly to accept. Tom is CEO of Amodo Design, a UK hardware lab building prototype tools to verify how AI chips are being used. He argues that verification is what makes a slowdown affordable: if a cluster can be shown to be serving only existing models rather than training new ones, most of AI’s benefits

By 1927, the United States had more than 22 million motor vehicles on its roads, compared with just 18,000 in the Soviet Union. This staggering disparity reflected one of the greatest productivity revolutions in human history: the mass production of machines capable of multiplying human labour hundreds or even thousands of times over. I'm joined by Dartmouth historian Stefan Link, author of Forging Global Fordism, to explore how Henry Ford and his engineers transformed automobile manufacturing from a skilled craft into an industrial system capable of producing millions of affordable vehicles.
