What I haven’t seen pointed out is that much as the AI companies are posturing for a bailout, republicans are trying to kick the can down the road. They don’t truly believe this argument, they just don’t want to be the ones to cut that check.
Mike Johnson says AI companies should regulate themselves: "We do not need a moratorium. We do not need to jump in and hyper regulate this because we'll lose the race to China. The innovation is important to continue."

This is downstream of America's oligarchy problem. The GOP is the party of the top 1% of the wealth distribution, but also the ~25th-80th percentile. Meanwhile, media is the provenance of the 90th-99th%ile where you'll encounter dumb campus leftism, but not Nazism or Christian nationalism.
It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

There's a real sense that Trump is running into serious limits on his power right now on many fronts. So I asked @davidkurtz.bsky.social: Are we constraining Trump, or not? His answer is so, so good. I pushed back and he went with it well. Check it out on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2137...
