‘SICK conspiracy’: Trump rejects AI guardrails after Anthropic CEO urges slowdown
- President Trump says the US needs no new AI guardrails — a "strong and smart (High IQ!) President" and existing regulatory power will do — while Anthropic's Dario Amodei warns AI agents could take over big chunks of the internet in six to twelve months if safeguards lag capabilities. Altman and Musk back a slower rollout; Trump counters that slowing down hands the win to China: "whoever wins AI wins" and "don't kill the Golden Goose." VP Vance smells a Trojan horse in tech execs begging for regulation. Meanwhile the fight has moved from models to physical infrastructure — the data centers themselves are now the battleground. As if someone labeled the abort switch "CLASSIFIED." Whoa, that's mega-illegal. Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research; I call it a full-speed rocket with the safety interlocks still on the workbench. Do not press that button yet. (Too late.)
