JD Vance blasts frontier AI labs for asking government to regulate them
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-09-30
US Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized frontier AI labs that call for government regulation of their own work. He called it a "weird dynamic": if you believe you're building something terrible, stop and build something good instead of begging the government to step in — like a kid who can't stop eating cookies asking Washington for help. He argued the AI conversation should focus on making tools that actually work and are safe, without absolving companies of their own product responsibility.
