Both sides of the aisle hate the AI moratorium


I state this in the vaguest of terms for two reasons: First, there’s still no good constitutional rationale for an executive order to override laws that states pass for themselves, let alone on artificial intelligence, and the version of the executive order that leaked from the White House in November immediately presented an overwhelming amount of legal issues (to say nothing about the David Sacks of it all). Yes, he analyzes things through a political lens as well, but you can see plenty of examples of him fighting for things that he believes in because he believes in them, whether it’s going to Iowa and campaigning against ethanol subsidies and winning the state of Iowa in 2016, or speaking out for free trade when President Trump wasn’t too happy about that in the first term, or speaking up for the state of Israel, for the Jewish people in the Jewish state of Israel specifically — taking flack on that. If we are in an AI bubble and we’re automating jobs to AI and there are freezes on jobs and all these other things — yeah, there’s tariffs in the mix and there’s other stuff in the mix, but Republicans are going to have to deal with that.
