Beff Jezos Resurfaces Andreessen's 3-Year-Old Anti-Regulatory-Capture AI Plan

e/acc founder Beff Jezos quotes Marc Andreessen's "What Is To Be Done?" essay, saying "Over 3 years ago. We were prescient":
- Andreessen's original proposal: big AI companies may build AI as fast and aggressively as possible, but must not achieve regulatory capture or form a government-protected cartel justified by claims of AI risk.
- Startup AI companies should likewise build freely, facing neither government-granted protection for incumbents nor government assistance.
- Jezos frames the current policy climate as vindicating that anti-capture stance.
