David Sacks fires back at Dario: regulation critics are a straw man, US risks becoming a closed-model island
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-08-18
Rohan Paul amplifies David Sacks' rebuttal to Dario Amodei's recent post. Sacks argues Dario never addressed Gavin Baker's account of his remarks (which he could easily deny if inaccurate), and that Dario's "bubble" framing — where critics treat all regulation as regulatory capture — is a straw man: almost no one holds that view, and Sacks himself has long pushed strong antitrust enforcement against Big Tech. Sacks warns the U.S. risks becoming an island of costly closed models while the rest of the world races ahead with broader choice (a nod to open-source momentum).
