Gary Marcus: liability and regulation aren't opposites — AI's new false dichotomy
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-18
Gary Marcus argues on his Substack that tech-libertarian voices are cynically framing liability and regulation as opposed. Backing Sen. Josh Hawley's jab that AI CEOs warning of doom while seeking antitrust exemptions is absurd, Marcus quotes Mark Cuban: liability is pointless without AI-specific regulation, and Karen Kornbluh cites autos, aviation, drugs and finance as industries where both coexist. He challenges David Sacks (who amplified a Joe Lonsdale interview) to explain his logic.
