I think that's one of the good things about the administration.
Much more pro-AI and more interested than were the Biden people.
The Biden people, you could say they were interested, but they feared it would destroy the whole world.
And they wanted to choke and throttle it in a variety of ways.
So I think there's a great number of issues where the Trump people have gone very badly wrong.
But at least so far, AI is not one of them.
I'd give them their like A or A+.
So far, we'll see, right?
There's a number of issues here.
The first is Trump administration policy toward the FTC, I think, has not been wonderful.
They appointed someone who seems like would be more appropriate for a Democratic or more left-leaning administration.
But if you look at the people in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House, they're excellent.
And there's always different forces in any administration.
But again, so far, so good.
I don't think they should continue the antitrust suit against Google.
That is looking like it's going against Google.
But that's not really the Trump administration.
That's the judiciary.
And that's been underway for quite some while.
