Algorithmic discrimination, DEI.

This is all a red herring.

What we're talking about is an extraordinarily dangerous and powerful technology that right now only states have taken the initiative and responsibility to really govern.

All of the child online safety acts, risk assessment acts, they're floundering in the U.S.

Congress, and we don't know when any of these are going to be implemented, if ever.

If I could just add one thing, just a really good example.

We all know about ChatGPT.

We all know about XAI's goon bots and things like that, right?

But one of the big driving forces behind getting states out of the way and really getting any government out of the way is Mark Andreessen and his Leading the Future PAC, which we use to

they'll try to destroy anyone that gets in their way.

They're threatening right now to primary people that are... Yeah, they've already targeted one of the reps in New York who's pushing the RAISE Act, which would basically hold companies liable for major catastrophic damages done.

But let's look at some of the things that Marc Andreessen has invested in, the kinds of things that he's trying to protect.

A good one, Clue.ly, an app that advertises itself as an app to help you cheat on everything, right?

And as we know, children right now, probably a third of all children in America, are not being educated in any meaningful way and still being passed through because they're copying.

Reface, a deepfake app.

A face-swapping app that can be used for any kind of malicious, malevolent purpose.

Dangerous.

From the highest levels of politics all the way down to just kids bullying each other.

And then Double Speed, which is probably the most onerous, to take a word from the EO, onerous company that they're investing in.

This is A16Z, Marc Andreessen Horowitz.
