OpenAI, Anthropic, and Scale AI are already lobbying in Washington to shape policies that favor their closed source AI models.

“Money doesn’t solve all problems…it can also create wrong incentives. It can increase stress and pressure, it can rip communities apart, it can do good in the short term but harm in the long term.
