Usually, tech companies work as hard as they can to lobby the government to avoid regulation. In a usual tech bubble, these kinds of comments would be the lede:
“The technology is moving extremely fast, and there are few formal procedures, but they also don’t want to overregulate,” said Dean Ball, who was a senior adviser on A.I. in the Trump administration before leaving last year for the Foundation for American Innovation. “It’s a tricky balance.”
You can tell how desperate these LLM companies are to get a fig leaf of legitimacy before they run out of runway that they’re willing to accept government regulation to get it.
Another possibility: this is another way for the Trump administration to try and wreck Dario because “he’s woke and Anthropic is woke”

I’m fairly certain that their idea of meaningful review is making sure that clankers all say what a great guy and beautiful, perfect, beloved President Donald Trump is and how beautiful and perfect his ballroom is going to be and how mean and nasty Democrats are and especially that bastard Obama who thinks he’s so cool because he got a Nobel and Donald Trump is the most awesomest president ever in the history of ever and that’s why he deserves every Nobel and did I mention the ballroom?
We can absolutely trust the people talking about “woke AI” bring the ones to determine what is acceptable.
Seems illegal
Sorry I just checked with my Trump approved ChatGPT and it says it’s actually very legal and cool. Only a smart president could do this, not that crooked Sleepy Joe.
