Anton Leicht predicts Republicans could do a 180 on AI after November once they no longer need accelerationist money for the election: "Right now there is still a lot of incentive, especially on the Republican side, to keep engaging with the accelerationist sources of political money, at least until the midterms, to get one final cycle of spending and funding in." "After the midterms, you'll see Republican leadership starting to reconsider, 'Should we engage with this faction for another cycle? Or do we do a 180 responding to what we currently see as concerns of the population?'" "The necessity to keep the accelerationist money going is really holding a lot of anti-AI sentiment in the Republican Party at bay." "We could see quite a substantial pivot and quite a lot of dams breaking, especially as Trump turns into a lame duck." @anton_d_leicht
