David Sacks

During the dinner, Sachs heard a convincing counter argument that selling American chips to rivals, including China, would get those nations hooked on US tech.

Sachs then took that argument to the White House and pushed officials to eliminate Biden era restrictions, et cetera, et cetera.

There's just one problem with this narrative.

There was no such dinner.

We checked my schedule.

They made up the dinner.

No, we checked everyone's schedules.

There was no dinner.

So they've got a source who's just making this up.

And how does the New York Times respond?

They just delete the dinner, but they don't delete any other part of this.

But if your source has already been caught fabricating a dinner at which this conversation supposedly took place, it's totally discredited.

They're trying to intimidate you.

They kind of create this insinuation that somehow I'm being influenced through friendships.

But then it turns out that

Those friendships don't even exist.

I mean, they're just people I met after I joined the administration in a lot of cases.

So in any event, look, I think the audience of the show knows my views on AI because I've been publicly advocating for them for the past year.

Great, Ryan.

I appreciate that.
