This is just one of the absolute strangest policy processes I've seen. So what's going on? How did we get here? And what was actually signed? First of all, by way of context, the reason that this is coming up at all is a couple parts. Firstly, there are some very, very different and contentious groups when it comes to AI, including in Trump's own coalition. Republicans like governor DeSantis in Florida, as well as very loudly former presidential adviser Steve Bannon have been squawking quite loudly about AI and more broadly decrying Trump's close alliance with the technology industry for some time now. And yet the specific catalyst for this new round of policy discussion was the cyber capabilities of anthropics mythos model. So the executive order we started hearing about a few weeks ago seemingly had something to do with labs needing to give the government access to their most advanced models before actually releasing them. Indeed, that was the core policy of the draft that was circulated two weeks ago that seemed at the time like a done deal. A signing ceremony had been scheduled, a who's who of tech CEOs had been invited to attend. However, hours before the event, president Trump pulled the order stating I didn't like certain aspects of it, and adding that he thought that it would get in the way of The US lead over China in the AI race. Now, it later surfaced that former AI czar David Sacks had intervened at the eleventh hour, placing a call to the president to talk him out of signing the policy at least for now. The order that was signed this week is substantially the same as the draft order that was scrapped a couple of weeks ago. Both versions of the order made safety testing voluntary, although in the current climate, that's not all that meaningful a distinction. All major AI labs have agreed to submit advanced models for testing, and while some White House personnel were reportedly pushing for compulsory testing, it appears that that position never made it into a draft. Indeed, it seems like the only significant change is that companies are encouraged to make their models available thirty days prior to public release as opposed …
