Two years ago, policymakers floated a global AI pause, some even suggested bombing data centers to stop progress. Today, the U.S. is pulling back from the brink.
Adam Thierer, author of Permissionless Innovation and Evasive Entrepreneurs, joins Niklas to unpack:
* How the “war on computation” began and the moment the tide turned
* Why sectors “born free” explode with innovation, while “born in captivity” stay stuck
* The explosion of 1,000+ AI-related bills across U.S. states and the risk of a regulatory maze
* The strange alliance between the far left and far right to slow progress
* Why AI could be the ultimate technology of freedom or a tool for repression
* Why compared to 2 years ago there are reasons to be more optimistic now.
If you’re building in AI, biotech, or any frontier space, this is your field guide to defending the right to build.
