That's always been a relative, rather than absolute statement. Genuine question: if Democrats take power, do you expect them to be more interventionist or less interventionist with respect to AI?

We don’t have to guess. Democrats had a pragmatic policy under Biden — which was rescinded by Trump when he took office. https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statement...

How well does it stand up to Mythos?

Next time someone tells you this is the party of free market and small government, I guess you just laugh now?

If you think that anthropic wasn't pushing aggressive regulatory capture legislation in the Biden administration, why do you think they hired a bunch of people from it?

> Regulatory agencies limit uses of other products without acts of congress-- cigarettes, vapes, drugs, pesticides, chemicals, explosives. Every one of those is by a regulatory agency that was explicitly empowered by Congress to do such regulation.

until it isn't, i.e. certain rulings over the last couple years...

You're talking about the EPA yes? Such ridiculousness

They haven’t claimed to be the free market party since Obama was in office. Trump very much ran an anti free market campaign the first time.

Marc Andreesen has first-hand knowledge that absolutely refutes what you are saying.

The Democratic party is more anti-ai than the Republican party and unfortunately both of them are increasingly responding to astroturfed populism.

Do you think Bernie Sanders in AOC are pro-ai? Are you kidding me? Have you seen what they say and the legislation they propose?

Well, there are the political ideals expressed or embraced by the populace, and then there are politicians. AFAICT political parties at the national level and state level in the US is pure theater.

It feels the U.S. is moving closer to a textbook definition of crony capitalism. Really sad but unsurprising with the current administration.

I don't think you can move closer to something that you're already fully enmeshed in.

The rate that the ruling class ran into crony capitalism at the first chance they got is something that needs to be remembered. They'll try to act like they were always against it at some point in the near future.
