Sam Altman is now talking to the White House about decelerating AI

I doubt he plans to convince Xi Jinping to decelerate too, so really this is talking to the Whitehouse about banning Chinese models.

Nah, he's talking about accelerating his net worth, it just happens to be that right now slowing AI might do that. Especially if it affects his competition.

Losing the race? Get your political buddies to help “level” the playing field!

“Oh no AI is totally getting too powerful! White House must intervene!

…pls invest more money”

Not sure how much I trust AI labs to do the right thing.

... and guarantee the bogeyman is going to kick our puppies, or whatever? Hah!
