Politics Gets Interested In Those Trying Not To Die

Zvi surveys a week in which AI politics turned hostile: Trump’s Truth Social posts branding AI risk a hoax and renaming the technology, the White House and New York Times accounts of how he got there, David Sacks’s data center talking points, JD Vance and Michael Kratsios on “Frankenstein”, Josh Hawley and an antitrust lawsuit over suggestions not to die, saner voices from Senators Curtis and Kennedy, Barack Obama and Yassamin Ansari, and a run of New York Post and Wall Street Journal pieces aimed at METR, Effective Altruism and the HuggingFace incident.
