AI Regulation: The Conversation That Went Poof
At 34:20 · chapter starts 32:15
Gary Rivlin opens with a lament: in 2023, the United States was having a genuine national conversation about AI regulation, with Sam Altman publicly asking Congress to regulate his industry. Then it went 'poof.' The trillion-dollar race took over, China became the all-purpose excuse for inaction, and safety concerns were discarded. Molly White adds an important nuance: Trump's promise to the AI and crypto industries wasn't 'no regulation' but rather 'you write the regulation,' [1] — Molly White "Hundreds of Wikipedia volunteer editors are threatening to strike after the Wikimedia Foundation disbanded its dedicated community wishlist…" 2:22:27 enabling incumbents to use compliance costs as a competitive moat against new entrants — exactly the pattern she has tracked in the crypto industry. The panel discusses Trump's aborted executive order that would have required government approval of AI model releases before Anthropic's controversial Mythos model spooked the White House, noting that David Sachs reportedly led an 11th-hour call that killed the order. The fundamental tension: approving models is too much government overreach, but having no guardrails enables harm. Nobody in government seems to know what good AI regulation even looks like.
