I wrote out my response to the Biden Admin's AI executive order and everything it gets wrong about open-source, innovation, and the future of decentralization:
"Two distinct worlds are taking shape on each side of the Atlantic regarding the future of artificial intelligence and its benefits.
The first is one with cutting-edge competition between large language model developers, open-source software coders, and investors tooling the best practical applications for AI. This comprises ambitious startups, legacy Big Tech companies, and every major global corporation looking for an edge. As anyone can guess, a high percentage of early movers in this category are based in the United States, with close to 5,000 AI startups and $249 billion in private investment. This space is hopeful, energetic, and forward-looking.
The second world, languishing behind the first, is characterized by bureaucracy, intense approval processes, and permitting. The predominant mindset around AI is threat mitigation and a fixation on worst-case scenarios from which consumers must be saved. "
