qwant news | Trump delays AI executive order after tech industry pushback - SiliconANGLE AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump postponed signing an executive order that would have required developers of advanced artificial‑intelligence models to submit “frontier” systems to the federal government for review at least 90 days before release—a move that sparked pushback from major tech figures such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and venture capitalist David Sacks, while OpenAI was supportive. The draft order, which would have made participation voluntary and tasked the Treasury Department with running the review program alongside agencies like the NSA and CISA, targeted “covered frontier models” such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview, a tool noted for its ability to uncover and chain together high‑severity software vulnerabilities. It also called for federal agencies to expand internal AI‑driven cybersecurity programs and earmark grant funding for such initiatives. After several invited industry leaders indicated they could not attend a signing ceremony, Trump cited their absence as a factor in delaying the order; meanwhile, the White House has given OpenAI permission to assist state‑level AI regulations, contrasting with an earlier order aimed at limiting such state laws.

qwant news | Sources: last-minute calls with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, David Sacks, and others helped persuade President Trump not to sign the highly anticipated AI EO AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The White House cancelled the planned ceremony for President Trump to sign a new executive order on AI and cybersecurity, noting that the president “didn’t like certain aspects of it” and chose to postpone the signing; sources say the delay was driven by last‑minute pressure from tech CEOs—including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and David Sacks—who argued the order’s provisions could hinder U.S. competitiveness in the AI race with China and impose unwanted regulation.

The Atlantic | The Venture-Capital Populist by George Packer AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article traces how venture capitalist David Sacks, a longtime libertarian‑conservative who built his fortune through PayPal, the “PayPal Mafia,” and later investments in Facebook, SpaceX, crypto and AI, moved from publicly condemning Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection to becoming a key architect of the new tech‑right’s alliance with the MAGA movement. In June 2024 Sacks hosted a $12 million fundraiser for Trump on “Billionaires’ Row,” which helped seal Senator J.D. Vance’s selection as the former president’s running mate and signaled a broader embrace of Trump among Silicon Valley elites. The piece details Sacks’s appointment as the White House’s special adviser on AI and crypto, the conflict‑of‑interest waivers that let him keep his venture‑capital firm while shaping policy, and his push for a pro‑crypto regulatory framework (the GENIUS Act) while advocating minimal regulation of AI and aggressive export of U.S. AI chips—even to China. The author argues that Sacks’s self‑interest‑driven populism has fused venture‑capital wealth with government power, reshaping American tech policy in ways that privilege the industry’s richest players at the expense of broader democratic and regulatory safeguards.
