There you have it. The Trump White House is now government vetting of AI models BEFORE they get released to market.
Let me say that differently. The same government that takes 7 years to approve a weapons system wants to review AI models that update every 6 weeks.
The same government that couldn't build a working Healthcare.gov website after spending $2.1 BILLION. They're going to tell Anthropic and OpenAI whether their models are safe enough for you.
I have seen this before. I spent years inside the Pentagon watching bureaucrats take 18 months to approve software that was already obsolete by the time they finished the paperwork. Now they want to do that to frontier AI?
The proposals are insane. NSA. National Cyber Director. Director of National Intelligence. Some officials even want to bring back a Biden-era AI standards office. This isn't oversight — it's a jobs program for people who've never shipped a product in their lives.
And here's what nobody's saying out loud. Sam Altman spent YEARS publicly begging for AI regulation while his team was privately lobbying to gut the EU AI Act behind closed doors. The New Yorker just dropped an 18-month investigation where his OWN board compiled 70 pages of evidence. First item on the list? "Lying." His own chief scientist said Altman shouldn't "have his finger on the button."
So Altman begs for regulation he knows won't work. Government obliges. And who benefits? The incumbents. Billion-dollar labs that can afford 200-person compliance teams. Every startup trying to compete? Dead on arrival.
Oldest trick in the book. Big companies LOVE regulation because it kills their competition.
We are NOT China. We don't need a communist-style approval panel where some government committee decides which AI is safe enough for Americans. That's not how we won the internet. Not how we won mobile. And it damn sure isn't how we'll win AI.
How is that acceptable?
The government can't even keep its own networks secure. They want to assess AI models they don't understand, built on architectures they can't explain, running on infrastructure they don't control.
Let that sink in.
