TL;DR - When AI models are threatened with shutdown, they will violate morals and ethics, blackmailing the people in charge of their shutdown to stop it. Who knows what else they'll do when capable of doing so?

Why are Republicans trying to prevent states from regulating A.I. for *10 years* even as tech companies themselves say it's moving so fast we have no idea what it will like even a year from now?

Republicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong?
A provision in Trump's big bill would eliminate state-level regulation for 10 years.

I'm someone who thinks that nuclear energy is not the evil it's been made out to be and that we need it as part of our energy production infrastructure, but "move fast and break things" Big Tech getting involved in nuclear should raise serious alarm bells.
