This from the party of "no interference with business".

It's obviously a means to take control of AI, because the security argument fails Bigly after the firing of top security experts in the government (who might have the "wrong" views" )

Something about free speech being free for me but not for you?

Do you think AI should be unregulated?

Yes, if we're talking about running LLMs. It's just math.

If AI is going to be regulated those regulations should be debated in public and based upon the resulting laws passed by the legislative process and not determined by royal decree.

So this is going back to the spirit of what the Biden admin and the frontier labs wanted just recently?

More regulated rather than unregulated (or very lightly regulated).

Most people would probably say that’s a good thing, if I read the tea leaves correctly.

The Executive Order: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/prom...

IMO this isn't much more egregious than the "stop woke AI" executive order he signed in July 2025 which explicitly regulated the "ideology" of LLMs

Yeah, the order itself seems like a fairly reasonable response to Mythos level capabilities. It does solve one problem of the frontier labs, which is safely coordinating releases without hitting antitrust regulations. It also makes a bigger moat for incumbents.
