ROBOTS, MEET VOTERS I wrote this week's cover leader for @TheEconomist on the politics of AI and how to navigate the coming backlash. Alongside our blood-curdling cover illustration, there were a few big ideas I wanted to get across. (🧵) www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

The AI backlash is only getting started

Here is how to deal with it

how is it hotter again tomorrow

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

In hindsight I really liked the season model and wish it had stuck around.

Americans think a hundred years is a long time, Europeans think 100˚F is too hot

net zero dads of bluesky, i am being asked if I have a preferred brand of battery. other than 'not tesla' is this the sort of thing one ought to have strong opinions on

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

if my builder had been allowed to spend £350 on installing a proper window unit rather than me spending £350 on getting a portable one, I would have a strictly better AC for the same cost

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

In practice, the spec is interpreted as "if you ask for AC, you are told to redesign the house so it doesn't need it". It's a catch 22: you're allowed to install active cooling only if you can prove you don't need to install active cooling

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

It's much much much more efficient and effective if it's built in, and I don't quite understand what the trade-off is here? Why is the portable unit preferable? It still costs money, still takes up space for 50 weeks, etc etc

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

fakes are also bad obvs but it's somewhat easier to enforce _once you have ANPR working_, since you can arrest anyone whose plates don't match the vehicle they're on

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

my issue isn't the fakes, it's the ones designed to be unreadable by cameras, and the vast array of suppliers all competing to push the limits of what is legal and difficult to read.

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 25(source)

There are 34,000 providers of number plates in the UK, competing to sell a product that legally has to be near-indistinguishable across all suppliers. Why… why is there a market in this at all hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2026-0...

A fun thing that will happen fairly soon is chunky models being explicitly RL’d to say “no, do it yourself” to users trying to get them to waste tokens on trivial tasks

Consulting giant Accenture is trying to figure out how to stop non-technical workers from blowing through companies’ AI token budget on trivial tasks like converting PDFs to presentation slides, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media. Welcome to the Tokenpocalypse.

If we were sunnier, I would be a huge defender of the UK's net zero policy, because solar is quite clearly going to underpin prosperity in the latter half of this century. I'm much less confident about wind, and think our path ahead is unsettlingly expensive

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 24(source)

quite possibly! My fear — and the reason I give some time to the latter of the two cases — is that _solar_ looks like it's progressing rapidly to become the engine of future prosperity. And we're cloudy and northern.

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.socialJun 24(source)

my fear is that we specifically have a shitty position here. solar is an inevitable market and we're cloudy and northern; wind feels far more… evitable… and even though we're good at it, the cost curve stubbornly refuses to bend
