Well Trump is signalling that he is happy to let AI rip.

Bernie wants there to be an extreme shutdown of AI immediately.

So lets say you had 2 billion dollars of slush and worked for OpenAI and anthropic.

You would immediately start to grease the paws of republicans to support just enough regulation to slow your competitors. And you would start to grease the paws of democrats to push for a "Moderate centrist" position away from Bernie, leading towards Regulation.

Ice Cream Vendor problem leads you straight into both sides supporting the same moderate regulation that OpenAI/Anthropic will write for them.

Keep in mind its going to be a noisy election cycle with Donald Trumps idiot successor vs whatever goofball the democrats vomit up arguing about tariffs, trade partners, healthcare, ICE etc.

Democrat falls out of line "You just want China to beat us at AI"

Republican falls out of line "You are just a techbro supporting epstein affiliate"

Then theres the standard 99% + chance regarding US election promises that people just dont act on it at all.

Etc etc etc.
