WSJ What’s News · Chinese AI Models Are Worrying Washington and Silicon Valley · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

The bigger thing, though, is that these models that are being released now could be used to launch cyber attacks or develop new pathogens, whatever the case might be.

So the concern is that you have this open model that is capable of these things, and now it's widely accessible.

Almost anyone can use it.

So that is really setting off alarm bells for a lot of policymakers if you end up in that scenario.

And it seems like we could potentially be there very soon, if not already.

Thanks for having me.

WSJ What’s News · Can Democrats Embrace AI and Win Back Silicon Valley? · 14 Aug 2025 podcast

Democratic leaders often just go to Silicon Valley and stick their hands out and ask for money because they view it as a stronghold without really engaging in a genuine way on policy issues.

you

Yeah, it's a really interesting issue.

I think it's important to contextualize most Silicon Valley executives and workers are still reliably Democrats.

But this is more about vibes, I think, than anything else.

And last year in the election, you saw Elon Musk pour money into arms of the Republicans, particularly Donald Trump.

And

You saw notable people like Mark Andreessen and Chamath Palihapitiya, billionaire venture capitalists, abandoned the Democrats in favor of the Republicans.

That and sort of dwindling enthusiasm among executives and people who still might support Democrats, but don't like where they are on tech issues.

And the big driver is really the regulatory stance of the last administration.

They tried to sort of regulate a lot of crypto companies and investigate them for breaking the law and everything.

people viewed those actions as trying to regulate a key sector out of existence for AI and things like that.

But I think it's more that Democrats haven't really said how they want to support AI or indicated that they're excited about the technology and

what it can do.
