Marc Andreessen quote-tweeted a claim about an EA-backed proposed law, arguing it would grant effective altruists exclusive rights to both build and monitor ASI — an "absolute, totalitarian veto and soft power" over all superintelligence efforts. He called it "ideological institutional capture on a whole other level" and vowed to oppose it, escalating the Silicon Valley vs. AI-safety fight over ASI governance.
