AI startup founders and VCs hope that a Trump administration will lead to lighter regulations and the return of real acquisitions, not “contorted” ones

This is a fantastic article. And a rarity in tech journalism in that he brings a critical perspective on the hype from the very first sentence, instead of (cough NYT cough) ascribing any non-hype perspective to outsiders.

An Executive Order gets the attention, the fancy signing ceremonies, and the coverage. The OMB memo is where the rubber meets the road. When I was asked about the EO last year, I kept saying, “it's great, but let's wait for the OMB memo to come out”. 2/n https://www.whitehouse.gov/...

We've moved from asking WHETHER we should deploy responsibly, to asking HOW to deploy responsibly. The AI Bill of Rights spelt the HOW out in great detail, and the OMB memo now codifies this for the entire US government. 11/n, n=11.

A review of Claude, Gemini, GPT-4, Llama 2, and Mixtral found the models often gave inaccurate or misleading election information; GPT-4 was least inaccurate
