Famed investor Marc Andreessen not too long ago talked about conferences with Biden administration workers who gave him the impression they needed to manage AI by working carefully with two or three large AI firms, shutting everybody else out via burdensome laws.
Andreessen didn’t identify OpenAI, but it surely was implied it might have been a beneficiary of this alleged effort. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed Andreessen’s feedback as “conspiracy idea” in a podcast this week with Bari Weiss.
“I imply, we have been in a room with them, and different firms and the administration, however by no means like, ‘Here’s our conspiracy idea, we’re going to make it so just a few firms can construct AI after which it’s important to do what we are saying.’ Never something like that,” Altman mentioned.
Either manner, Altman and different large tech leaders are shifting on quick from the Biden administration, donating tens of millions to Trump’s inaugural fund.
