The moratorium does not prevent Congress from passing new federal AI laws or federal agencies from issuing AI-related rules during the 10-year period. However, it would significantly limit new state-level AI-specific regulations. Kevin Frazier Adam Thierer

Marc Andreessen on the AI race: 20 years from now, the world is going to be running on either Chinese AI or American AI. AI will be the control layer to everything, and it will teach your kids.

'Think of the children' gets abused, and the slope is slippery, but the concern is real.

AI is powerful, and the idea that anyone could have this power is not attractive to the powers that be. The elite are moving rapidly to regulate it -- and this is the key that turns the lock on the technocratic prison. #AI #RightToCompute unshadowed.substack.com/p/ai-decoding-…

Demis Hassabis is calling on philosophers to step in. He says technologists shouldn't decide AGI's future alone. “We need a new Kant or Wittgenstein to help map out where society should go next.” Politics, ethics, and theology will be essential to navigating a post-AGI world.

The moratorium on state AI regulation would help ensure "that a patchwork quilt of state AI laws doesn't become a wet blanket on Federal legislation," says Neil Chilson ⤴️⬆️🆙📈 🚀 reason.com/2025/06/24/the…

With the debate over the AI regulatory moratorium in full swing, I’m re-upping some important recent essays on the formidable compliance costs associated with the patchwork of European-style tech mandates coming to America. Here's why an AI moratorium is needed now:

My new monthly column for Freethink magazine, Clear Windows, is out with its first article: Technophobia has a Body Count, aka The High Cost of Luddite Policies. It rips through the history of how Luddite policies have smashed progress time and again. They haven't saved lives.

outstanding article by Gen. Keith Alexander & Jamil N. Jaffer connecting the dots between domestic AI regulatory decisions and our national interest in ensuring that America leads the computational revolution. As they argue, "a market-based, innovation-first, America-leads

And about the right to compute in general.

Solar + nuclear are the key to going exponential. Doubling down on fossil fuels is like doubling down on horse-drawn carriages when someone just invented the car.

AI will inevitably come to use these Web3 tools for structured, verifiable knowledge. The question is what access individuals will have. Those denied access will be lost in a sea of misinformation, at best dependent on those who are better informed.

European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone. xatakandroid.com/sociedad/cada-…

The right to repair is now law in Washington. From smartphones to wheelchairs, Washingtonians will finally have access to the tools, parts, and information they need to fix their own devices. This is common-sense policy—and it’s gaining momentum nationwide.

The same week America rejected a regulatory pause on Euro-style parochial AI over-regulation, more and more Europeans are advocating for a pause to address the EU AI Act. Sadly, many states are looking to import EU-inspired mandates here through a patchwork of new laws.
