Trump calls AI existential risk "a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA" and Zvi says he misread the trajectory
Trump declared that warnings about AI destroying humanity are fabricated, framing the concern as an anti-competitive attack on American data centers that benefits China. Zvi Mowshowitz, writing September 16, admits he had earlier cautioned against reading too much into Trump's initial statements and was wrong, and names Jensen Huang as the likely influence on the hardened position, calling him "a constantly lying liar" prioritizing chip sales. He also names David Sacks as having joined "the Usual Suspects" and Mark Zuckerberg as blocking action at Meta, while crediting Ron DeSantis, Mike Johnson, Rick Scott and Spencer Cox with constructive Republican engagement.
