Naive of anyone to think this is about safety when it’s clearly about shaping reality.
Spooked by Anthropic’s paranoia-inducing hype, of course.
“AI safety” has nothing to do with preventing psychosis, or addressing pollution or rampant electricity use (real problems). States are still banned - by Trump - from addressing those.
What is it? Well, it’s nothing, basically. It’s a fear of something that doesn’t exist, doesn’t have a path to existing, so deciding whether something is “safe” is bound to be based on which big tech corpo lobbies the hardest.

It’s about control. He wants to dictate the terms and regulations.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to vet the models to make sure they say nice things about Trump.
Objectively untrue. He lacks the cognition to realize anything of the sort. “Mythos is so scary!!1!1” is a PR line.
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.
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.
