I do wonder how much longer the window is for thoughtful AI policy, before it starts to become much more salient and polarizing

I’ve heard people worry that the huge IPOs of spaceX—and soon, anthropic and openAI—will mean “people sell other stocks to buy these.” As if the rest of the market will crash because the IPOs are so big. Note that when the public starts buying shares, the current shareholders of these private companies will be selling shares. They’ll likely use that cash to diversify their portfolios and buy other stocks

New policy priority: strict liability for long waits on the tarmac

Something I'd like to see more commentary on, re: Obernolte-Trahan, is CAISI Director independence. They have many key roles here. What can be done to limit politicization of that role, and if the answer is not much (that will pass in this Congress), what other solutions exist?

Grateful for the opportunity to engage in this argument. I took the Negative—we should try a variety of other policy interventions before we resort to a Pause

Next reauth looking like it might be short. There’s a real window to get a warrant requirement and roll back the crazy broad ECSP definition in RISAA
