The AI Preference Cascade Reaches Farther

Another engineer resigns rather than speed up AI, the polls keep moving, and lawmakers who once had to be chased now crowd into conference rooms with questions. Zvi follows the preference cascade from a remarkably on-the-ball Senate hearing on rogue AI, through new lawsuits and an FTC probe, to Jensen Huang’s insistence that it all has to be an engineering problem, and asks who is really paying for the campaign against AI safety.
