I think the real reason these AI CEOs are calling for a "slow down" in AI development has nothing to do with morality or impending doom. They know their revenue doesn't justify their high evaluations & their tech hasn't delivered on what was promised. It's also a rationale to back out of their IPOs.

It’s really important for Dems to be clear that this tax is illegal and ridiculous and any university that pays it will be refunded by a Democratic administration. Like we can nullify a lot of this shit by just clearly saying “we’re gonna win in 2028, and all this is going away.”
The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

Hillary warned us:
Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"
