  "transcript": "Full quote: \n\n>People are not getting how significant this news – The White House delaying GPT 5.6 – is.\n\n>Here’s the context and a suggestion.\n\n>Both  @pmarca and @DavidSacks did everything in their power to keep the White House from meaningfully regulate AI.\n\n>About a month ago, sparked by Mythos, the White House realized that zero-regulation was an insane idea, and that some AI, sooner or later might pose massive risks.\n\n>What we have now is actually (in some ways) the worst of all possible worlds: a White House that de facto *is* regulating AI, but without transparency.\n\n>That leaves businesses and investors in doubt.\n\n>What we really need is a bipartisan committee—with transparent criteria and the judgements of independent scientists—and not just snap judgements from the White House.\n\nhttps://x.com/GaryMarcus/status/2070257533076582550\n\nI never thought Dario Amodei would be the one to unleash the wrath of the Trump Administration on the entire AI industry. He is a very good hearted, brilliant man. A painful reminder that sometimes good intentions can result in bad consequences.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[75 upvotes] Gary is completely right on this. This is the worst case scenario \n\n[41 upvotes] This is like, the funniest shit ever. Not luddites, not research, but Trump. Thats the reason things got ugly. And to think these people bowed to him and tried to buy his support. Oh the irony.\n\n[38 upvotes] It's crony capitalism like Russia. \n\nPay the oligarchs or we'll use big government to smash your company.\n\nNotably, every courty that's gone down this path becomes a poor shithole. Because anyone with brains will start incorporating in Europe. \n\n[28 upvotes] > I never thought Dario Amodei would be the one to unleash the wrath of the Trump Administration on the entire AI industry. He is a very good hearted, brilliant man.\n\nbut that's exactly the type of person you would expect to incur the wrath of the Trump administration",
