In America's Cold Warrior, James Graham Wilson traces Paul Nitze's career path in national security after World War II, a time when many of his mentors and peers returned to civilian life. Serving in eight presidential administrations, Nitze commanded White House attention even when he was out of government, especially with his withering criticism of Jimmy Carter during Carter's presidency. While Nitze is perhaps best known for leading the formulation of NSC-68, which Harry Truman signed in 1950, Wilson contends that Nitze's most significant contribution to American peace and security came in the painstaking work done in the 1980s to negotiate successful treaties with the Soviets to reduce nuclear weapons while simultaneously deflecting skeptics surrounding Ronald Reagan. America's Cold Warrior connects Nitze's career and concerns about strategic vulnerability to the post-9/11 era and the challenges of the 2020s, where the United States finds itself locked in geopolitical competition with the People's Republic of China and Russia. Short Bio: James Graham Wilson is a Supervisory Historian in the Office of the Historian at the Department of State. He has compiled 11 volumes in the Foreign Relations of the United States series, including the sequence of National Security Policy volumes covering 1977–1992. He is the author of America's Cold Warrior: Paul Nitze and National Security from Roosevelt to Reagan (Cornell Press, 2024) and The Triumph of Improvisation: Gorbachev's Adaptability, Reagan's Engagement, and the End of the Cold War (Cornell Press, 2014). He received his PhD from the University of Virginia in 2011, where he studied with Melvyn Leffler. Mentioned: Susan Colbourn, Euromissiles: The Nuclear Weapons That Nearly Destroyed NATO (2022).

In this episode, Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, offers a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how AI is reshaping creativity, leadership, and human connection. From his daily video series The Most Interesting Thing in Tech to his marathon training powered by ChatGPT, Nicholas shares how he integrates AI into both work and life—not just as a tool, but as a thought partner.He reflects on the emotional complexity of AI relationships, the tension between cognitive augmentation and cognitive offloading, and what it means to preserve our “unwired” intelligence in an increasingly automated world. The conversation ventures into leadership during disruption, the ethics of AI-generated content, and the future of journalism in a world where agents may consume your content on your behalf.Nicholas also shares how he's cultivating third spaces, building muscle memory for analog thinking, and encouraging experimentation across his team—all while preparing for an uncertain future where imagination, not automation, might be our greatest asset.Whether you're a tech-savvy leader, a content creator, or just trying to stay grounded in the age of generative AI, this episode is full of honest reflections and hard-earned insights on how to navigate what's next.Key Takeaways:Your “unwired” intelligence is your AI superpower — The more human skills you build—like deep focus, emotional presence, and analog thinking—the better you'll be at wielding AI. Thompson argues that cultivating these unwired abilities isn't just about staying grounded—it's about unlocking the full potential of the tools.Don't fight the storm—gear up and adapt — AI is already transforming media and creative industries. Thompson compares it to a coming storm: you can't stop it by yelling at the clouds. Instead, embrace it, understand it deeply, and make strategic decisions based on where it's heading.Leadership means showing, not just telling — As a CEO navigating disruption, Thompson doesn't just advocate for AI exploration—he models it. From training staff on GPTs to walking the halls and testing ideas live, he treats leadership as a practice of visible experimentation and continuous learning.AI relationships can't replace real connection—but they can confuse it — Whether it's logging meals with a bot or losing a personalized Enneagram coach to a reset, Thompson highlights the emotional pull of AI and the dangers of relying on digital companions over human ones. Staying socially connected, especially through “third spaces,” is more important than ever.LinkedIn: Nicholas Thompson | LinkedInThe Atlantic: World Edition - The AtlanticWebsite: Home - Nicholas ThompsonX: nxthompson (@nxthompson)Strava: Cycling & Biking App - Tracker, Trails, Training & More | StravaCaitlin Flanagan – Sex Without Women: Article:SexWithoutWomen-TheAtlantic00:00 Introduction to Nicholas Thompson00:11 Navigating the Information Overload01:10 Daily Tech Insights and Tools02:10 Using AI for Content Creation04:39 AI as a Personal Trainer08:02 Emotional Connections with AI12:12 The Risks of AI Relationships16:17 Preparing for AGI and Cognitive Offloading30:26 AI's Impact on Leadership31:10 Navigating AI Competitors32:01 Internal AI Strategies32:49 Ethical Considerations in AI Usage34:07 AI in Journalism and Writing36:32 Practical AI Applications40:27 Balancing AI and Human Skills49:27 Future of AI in Media53:50 Final Thoughts and Reflections

What will the future of tech policy look like in a second Trump administration? And how will changes in the tech world—everything from the proliferation of AI and bots to the fragmentation of social media—impact how people talk, interact, and find information online? On the GZERO World Podcast, Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, joins Ian Bremmer to discuss the intersection of technology, media, and politics as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. Trump had a contentious relationship with the tech industry in his first term, but this time around, tech leaders are optimistic Trump 2.0 will be good for business, buoyed by hopes of loosening AI regulations, a crypto boom, and a more business-friendly administration. What does Big Tech stand to gain–or lose–from a second Trump presidency? Will Elon Musk help usher US tech policy into a new era, or will he create more chaos in the White House? And how concerned should we be about the dangers of AI-generated content online? Thompson and Bremmer break down the big changes in Big Tech and where the industry goes from here.

We're diving into a challenge that's been brewing in the world of intellectual property (IP) for quite some time: The public's misunderstanding of IP, particularly trademarks. Earlier this year, an INTA Presidential Task Force published a report titled Unlocking IP. The report shed light on a critical issue: the consequences of inaccurate or incomplete IP reporting in mainstream media. The message was clear—the media bears a responsibility to educate the public accurately on IP matters.In this episode of Brand and New, we're turning the tables.  We're exploring the perspective of a visionary media CEO and a seasoned IP journalist, both experts at navigating and communicating intricate subjects in our rapidly evolving media landscape. Nicholas Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic and Trevor Little is Managing Editor of IAM and World Trademark Review. Mr. Little is also a long-time INTA member and one of two INTA members who led the Unlocking IP Presidential Task Force.Related Resources About Nicholas Thompson About Trevor Little Unlocking IP Presidential Task Force Report  Unlocking IP Press Release Unlocking IP: INTA's Media Mission (INTA Bulletin, July 2024)

A "massive attack" by Ukraine - this is how Russia describes a daring incursion by Ukrainian troops into its Kursk region. And while Russia claims it has stopped the incursion, evidence from the ground suggests fighting is ongoing. This comes as Russian forces creep closer to the strategically important city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, threatening a vital supply line for Kyiv. Bianna discusses with Rose Gottemoeller what Kyiv's strategy might be, and what its US ally makes of it.  Also on today's show: WSJ reporter Emily Glazer and Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic; Raj Chetty, Director, Harvard's Opportunity Insights; USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I'm talking to Nicholas Thompson, the CEO of The Atlantic. I was really excited to talk to Nick. Like so many media CEOs, including Vox Media's, he just signed a deal allowing OpenAI to use The Atlantic's vast archives as training data, but he also has a rich background in tech. Before he was the CEO of The Atlantic, Nick was the editor-in-chief of Wired, where he set his sights on AI reporting well before anyone else. I was also really interested in asking Nick about the general sense that the AI companies are getting vastly more than they're giving with these sorts of deals — yes, they're paying some money, but I've heard from so many of you that the money might now be the point — that there's something else going on here – that maybe allowing creativity to get commodified this way will come with a price tag so big money can never pay it back. If there is anyone who could get into it with me on that question, it's Nick.

I was meeting with Faraj Aalaei (a SignalRank board member) and my colleague Rob Hodgkinson when they began to talk about “Situational Awareness,” his essay on the future of AGI, and its likely speed of emergence.So I had to read it, and it is this week's essay of the week. He starts his 165-page epic with:Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them.So, Leopold is not humble. He finds himself “among” the few people with situational awareness.As a person prone to bigging up myself, I am not one to prematurely judge somebody's view of self. So, I read all 165 pages.He makes one point. The growth of AI capability is accelerating. More is being done at a lower cost, and the trend will continue to be super-intelligence by 2027. At that point, billions of skilled bots will solve problems at a rate we cannot imagine. And they will work together, with little human input, to do so.His case is developed using linear progression from current developments. According to Leopold, all you have to believe in is straight lines.He also has a secondary narrative related to safety, particularly the safety of models and their weightings (how they achieve their results).By safety, he does not mean the models will do bad things. He means that third parties, namely China, can steal the weightings and reproduce the results. He focuses on the poor security surrounding models as the problem. And he deems governments unaware of the dangers.Although German-born, he argues in favor of the US-led effort to see AGI as a weapon to defeat China and threatens dire consequences if it does not. He sees the “free world” as in danger unless it stops others from gaining the sophistication he predicts in the time he predicts.At that point, I felt I was reading a manifesto for World War Three.But as I see it, the smartest people in the space have converged on a different perspective, a third way, one I will dub AGI Realism. The core tenets are simple:* Superintelligence is a matter of national security. We are rapidly building machines smarter than the smartest humans. This is not another cool Silicon Valley boom; this isn't some random community of coders writing an innocent open source software package; this isn't fun and games. Superintelligence is going to be wild; it will be the most powerful weapon mankind has ever built. And for any of us involved, it'll be the most important thing we ever do. * America must lead. The torch of liberty will not survive Xi getting AGI first. (And, realistically, American leadership is the only path to safe AGI, too.) That means we can't simply “pause”; it means we need to rapidly scale up US power production to build the AGI clusters in the US. But it also means amateur startup security delivering the nuclear secrets to the CCP won't cut it anymore, and it means the core AGI infrastructure must be controlled by America, not some dictator in the Middle East. American AI labs must put the national interest first. * We need to not screw it up. Recognizing the power of superintelligence also means recognizing its peril. There are very real safety risks; very real risks this all goes awry—whether it be because mankind uses the destructive power brought forth for our mutual annihilation, or because, yes, the alien species we're summoning is one we cannot yet fully control. These are manageable—but improvising won't cut it. Navigating these perils will require good people bringing a level of seriousness to the table that has not yet been offered. As the acceleration intensifies, I only expect the discourse to get more shrill. But my greatest hope is that there will be those who feel the weight of what is coming, and take it as a solemn call to duty.I persisted in reading it, and I think you should, too—not for the war-mongering element but for the core acceleration thesis.My two cents: Leopold underestimates AI's impact in the long run and overestimates it in the short term, but he is directionally correct.Anthropic released v3.5 of Claude.ai today. It is far faster than the impressive 3.0 version (released a few months ago) and costs a fraction to train and run. it is also more capable. It accepts text and images and has a new feature that allows it to run code, edit documents, and preview designs called ‘Artifacts.'Claude 3.5 Opus is probably not far away.Situational Awareness projects trends like this into the near future, and his views are extrapolated from that perspective.Contrast that paper with “ChatGPT is B******t,” a paper coming out of Glasgow University in the UK. The three authors contest the accusation that ChatGPT hallucinates or lies. They claim that because it is a probabilistic word finder, it spouts b******t. It can be right, and it can be wrong, but it does not know the difference. It's a bullshitter.Hilariously, they define three types of BS:B******t (general)Any utterance produced where a speaker has indifference towards the truth of the utterance.Hard b******tB******t produced with the intention to mislead the audience about the utterer's agenda.Soft b******tB******t produced without the intention to mislead the hearer regarding the utterer's agenda.They then conclude:With this distinction in hand, we're now in a position to consider a worry of the following sort: Is ChatGPT hard b**********g, soft b**********g, or neither? We will argue, first, that ChatGPT, and other LLMs, are clearly soft b**********g. However, the question of whether these chatbots are hard b**********g is a trickier one, and depends on a number of complex questions concerning whether ChatGPT can be ascribed intentions.This is closer to Gary Marcus's point of view in his ‘AGI by 2027?' response to Leopold. It is also below.I think the reality is somewhere between Leopold and Marcus. AI is capable of surprising things, given that it is only a probabilistic word-finder. And its ability to do so is becoming cheaper and faster. The number of times it is useful easily outweighs, for me, the times it is not. Most importantly, AI agents will work together to improve each other and learn faster.However, Gary Marcus is right that reasoning and other essential decision-making characteristics are not logically derived from an LLM approach to knowledge. So, without additional or perhaps different elements, there will be limits to where it can go. Gary probably underestimates what CAN be achieved with LLMs (indeed, who would have thought they could do what they already do). And Leopold probably overestimates the lack of a ceiling in what they will do and how fast that will happen.It will be fascinating to watch. I, for one, have no idea what to expect except the unexpected. OpenAI Founder Illya Sutskever weighed in, too, with a new AI startup called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI). The most important word here is superintelligence, the same word Leopold used. The next phase is focused on higher-than-human intelligence, which can be reproduced billions of times to create scaled Superintelligence.The Expanding Universe of Generative Models piece below places smart people in the room to discuss these developments.

In this bonus episode of Media Voices, we hear from Nicholas Thompson, CEO at The Atlantic. We first had Nicholas as a guest on the podcast back in 2019 when he was WIRED's Editor in Chief, about what he'd learned a year after introducing a paywall to the brand.  Nicholas has since been credited with being a driving force behind The Atlantic's recent return to profitability and subscriber strategy success. So we were keen to invite him back on for a wide-ranging conversation about how he achieved the turnaround, as well as what happened to their paid newsletter scheme, Apple News+, and his thoughts on wider industry trends like AI. Nicholas spoke about the experiments The Atlantic has run around its paywall strategy over the past few years, transforming the business holistically, and doing less but in much more depth. He also shares his outlook for the rest of 2024 - including the election effect - and how he's setting his next goals for the publication after meeting both the 1 million subscriber and profitability milestones earlier this month.
