Marc Andreessen said “this [Biden-Harris] administration freaked us out so much” because “it felt like they were trying to become way more like China” after meetings between tech leaders and the Biden administration earlier this year. Andreessen added that during a series of “the most alarming meetings I have ever been in” Biden officials said “there will only be two or three” artificial intelligence (AI) companies that will be “completely regulated, controlled by the government.” (Andreessen outlines the break between centrist liberal Silicon Valley leaders and the Democratic party, due to Democrats breaking the unspoken deal that they will support tech development with minimal interference. This explains the defection of major tech leaders to the Trump camp. – R.C.)

Senator Ted Cruz has called for an investigation into European influence on AI policy, after accusing the Biden Administration of collaborating with foreign governments to craft U.S. AI regulations. Cruz has since accused the Centre for the Governance of Artificial Intelligence (GovAI), a U.K.-based nonprofit, of failing to register as a foreign agent while engaging in political activities in the U.S. GovAI recently hosted an AI policy summit in San Francisco, which U.S. lawmakers and government officials attended.

(1) LAWMAKER TELLS FERC TO FAST TRACK AI DATA CENTER RULE: Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), who co-chairs the Congressional AI Task Force, said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) should fast-track new rules to encourage the expansion of AI data centers.

Obernolte said the FERC should “clear the way” for co-location of AI data centers with power plants to ensure grid reliability.
Why It Matters: Obernolte highlights a key point in the fight over AI data centers, that there is a clear national security concern with the U.S. winning the AI race against China. A working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research earlier this year argued that winning the AI race will give a major first mover advantage. China is building new power generation, and developing new AI chips to gain an advantage against the U.S., which is currently facing power supply constraints. Incoming Trump officials have signaled they will reverse policies that have constrained power supply, and will also likely boost U.S. AI development. – R.C.

if the claims are true and Willow is the real deal that can work like advertised this would be something that would change the world and give the US a gigantic lead over CCP.

We would be able to throw out the internet as we know it.

see my previous posts on quantum computing

I doubt the veracity of this with regards to being practical or realistic any time soon, however.

If it is for real I would buy google on dip after we see what Trump's antitrust SEC is going to do.

(2) INCOMING TRUMP AI CZAR HAS TOUGH ROAD AHEAD: Bipartisan AI policy group Americans for Responsible Innovation VP Satya Thallam said U.S. leadership on artificial intelligence (AI) is at stake and incoming Trump administration “AI and crypto czar” David Sacks has a “tough job ahead of him.”
R Street Institute senior fellow Adam Thierer said Sacks will need strong support from the White House when Sacks “starts butting heads with powerful bureaucratic agencies and special interests” who want to constrain AI and cryptocurrency development.
Why It Matters: The same agencies that have de-banked more than 30 Silicon Valley executives since the beginning of the Biden administration and, according to Marc Andreessen, told AI developers that the government will have “total control” over AI, will likely resist Trump administration efforts to deregulate AI and cryptocurrencies. Sacks will have no formal legal power as a White House advisor, and will have to rely on Congressional Republicans and Trump cabinet secretaries to spur AI development and keep the U.S. ahead of China. – R.C.

Stanford Report:

Noting that recent advances in artificial intelligence and the existence of large-scale experimental data about human biology have reached a critical mass, a team of researchers from Stanford University, Genentech, and the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative says that science has an “unprecedented opportunity” to use artificial intelligence (AI) to create the world’s first virtual human cell. Such a cell would be able to represent and simulate the precise behavior of human biomolecules, cells, and, eventually, tissues and organs.

“Modeling human cells can be considered the holy grail of biology,” said Emma Lundberg, associate professor of bioengineering and of pathology in the schools of Engineering and Medicine at Stanford and a senior author of a new article in the journal Cell proposing a concerted, global effort to create the world’s first AI virtual cell. “AI offers the ability to learn directly from data and to move beyond assumptions and hunches to discover the emergent properties of complex biological systems.” .
