People are not getting how significant this news – The White House delaying GPT 5.6 – is. Here’s the context and a suggestion. Both @pmarca and @DavidSacks did everything in their power to keep the White House from meaningfully regulate AI. 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. 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. That leaves businesses and investors in doubt. 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.
