The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 2734 - Republicans Are Losing Ground in Deep-Red States w/ David Dayen · 18 Sep 2026 podcast

Already have problems, and we actually already have solutions for those problems, and it's called the law.

There is no AI exemption to the law.

And uh to it, my my friend and co-host Matt Stoller uh uh put this very succinctly and I think very well.

Uh why are policymakers so frazzled and in a frenzy about

adding AI regulation if they think the existing regulation won't work.

Like like you're saying that that the laws that we have on product liability, the laws that we have on uh you know uh faulty uh uh faulty products and and and and faults uh faults within accidents

А да нобрікули конт.

Sam Altman or Dario Amade or Elon Musk for any of those things.

But we need more regulation.

If this regulation doesn't work, it doesn't make any sense.

And and the only way to make sense of it is with something like Steve Eisman said, which is these companies uh have a uh are they're looking at a really problematic financial balance sheet and they wanna restore

The ability to cartelize this industry so that they can increase their revenues in a way that meets the massive expenditures that they're making.

And pacing the frontier, as it were, as Anthropic CEO said, would reduce the burn rate on all of the infrastructure that they're building all across the country while standardizing and creating something.

So that maybe the Chinese AIs aren't allowed to operate in the United States would allow them to increase their token uh uh uh uh prices and therefore increase their revenues.

So uh and of course, Anthropic is moving towards a an IPO right now.

Uh uh OpenAI put it off, but Anthropic is moving toward one.

And any investor that looks at their current balance sheet uh that has to be given to them as

As part of the IPO would say, What am what am I investing in here?

Uh so so rebalancing that that that the financials is of utmost importance to a company that's trying to go public and uh this uh ends up being a good way to do it.

They're basically warehouses, right?
