NYT's front page full of AI regulation calls as firms rush to ditch frontier models
OvertaxedOne · reddit · 2026-09-13
A Reddit consultant points out that nearly the entire above-the-fold page of today's New York Times is AI articles arguing models are 'too strong/too dangerous' and must be regulated — which he reads as unmarked industry-driven regulatory capture and a sign of a bubble's end. From his client work: his entire next week is booked helping companies get off frontier models, one large and several smaller customers, with one flying him out immediately — a recent math-problem controversy spooked CEOs/CIOs about data privacy on cloud models. He jokes he hopes the Qwen team gives him some breathing room before its next release.
