So I think there's a genuine worry about
among some of the smarter political minds around Trump that Sachs has actually been bad for politics.
He may have been good for business, but he's been bad for politics, and they need to start backtracking because they've gotten way out ahead of the American people who are actually quite worried about the effects of AI.
Well, you know, there were some bills in Congress or some amendments that were co-sponsored by a far-right MAGA senator, Jim Banks, and a far-left Democratic senator, Elizabeth Warren.
Not far-left, but progressive, let's say, that would have done what the AI industry did not want done, what NVIDIA didn't want done, and put American companies ahead of China in line for democracy.
