It’s about control. He wants to dictate the terms and regulations.

Objectively untrue. He lacks the cognition to realize anything of the sort. “Mythos is so scary!!1!1” is a PR line.

“Once again repeating the last thing he heard, elderly man now agrees with the ai industry”

Trump doesn’t even realize when he’s soiled himself again.

He doesn’t realize shit for more than a few minutes at a time.

I’ll give it a year before this “voluntary” evaluation becomes mandatory, while standards based on industry-leading models, dictate guardrails impossible to implement for upcoming models. And thus giving reason to consider would-be competitors’ models a “national security risk”: evaluated by a board, which by then, is composed of “experts” with a vested interest in the leading industry…

Personally I believe AI models, using content for which they do not have the creator’s explicit permission, have no right to exist (at least as a commercially available product).

AI safety testing under Trump is just another way to slow down competition for Musk’s xAI.

Elon is a boss at paying off government to slow down any competition.
