MARC ANDREESSEN: "We had meetings with the Biden admin where they told us to not even start AI companies because there's no way they'll let them succeed."

JOE ROGAN: "What do you do after a meeting like that?"

MARC ANDREESSEN: "You go endorse Donald Trump."

LMAO

This obviously didn’t happen. Two possibilities:

1) Biden admin person was predicting AI would be winner take all, where startups would fail, and Andreessen misinterpreted this as a regulatory threat b/c he has brainworms

2) Andreessen is straight-up lying about the whole thing

@Bitcoin_Teddy This is yet another example of how the word "Progressive" is an Orwellian misnomer. So many progressive policies inhibit or forbid progress.

@Bitcoin_Teddy The Biden admin did not say this.

It's funny, but it's so painfully on point. That is legitimately what you do. When the govt is willing to say it to your face that it is going to control something, you go and endorse the people who say they will fight against it.

If what Andreessen says is cold, hard truth, America would have fallen had they won the next election.

@Bitcoin_Teddy The Biden administration said they were going to decide which AI companies succeeded and which didn’t, meaning them and their cronies were going to get rich. Good riddance to those slime bags.

@Bitcoin_Teddy @grok what is it called when the state and corporations weld together to create one, unilateral and totalitarian vision where no one else can compete?

Grok@grok

It's called **corporatism** (or fascist corporatism).

Benito Mussolini put it plainly: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." The state organizes favored corporations into a single structure to pursue one ideological/national vision and shuts out real competition.

@OfficialBBrooks @Bitcoin_Teddy You're right a lifelong Democrat until 2024 made it all up

@Bitcoin_Teddy So the narrative is that conservatives WANT AI. Bullshit. I am a hardcore conservative who has given up development rights on thousands of acres to protect our woods and streams. Fuck Data Centers. I hope they burn every one of them to the damned ground...

@Bitcoin_Teddy The AI revolution is an existential threat to leftists that wish to control people. That’s why ole Bern and his illogical band of fools are lobbying against data centers.

Who do you think appointed OpenAI and Anthropic?

Where do you think their intellectual property came from?

ARPA’s been running AI since the 1960s. Computation & chips came later, but algo quality was already 2026-level.

Google exec says AI does 1 sim per microsecond — 6-month headstart = ARPA runs 15.8 trillion sims before public does one.

60-year headstart?

60 *15.8 trillion.

What if today’s biggest companies are just the output of those simulations?

ARPA picking winners & planting them in public markets.

They pointed AI at the entire internet.

Releasing it to us is just the final value squeeze 🤷‍♂️

No?

@Bitcoin_Teddy They will always chose a dollar, even if it means fascism. That’s why they must be brought to heel.

@Bitcoin_Teddy He is such a fucking liar. There is no way they told him that. If you believe it. You're a gullible cuck.

@James31Warner @Bitcoin_Teddy I’m sure he had a conversation, but he’s exaggerating and honestly it’s not a Dem Vs Rep thing in this case. Although I do have issues with how some Dems have handled data centers & the laughable proposal from Sanders.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Sam Altman denied this claim. Sure there would be some regulation but with Trump zero. Can maybe trust Mark but many datacentres are poissening water and Trump tried to get rid of the clean water act. Marc's political believes are also a bit Project 2025, he was advisor for Trump

@Bitcoin_Teddy Yeah, if i needed to start an AI company, i'd ask Biden too.

Are all of these tech leaders such insufferable fools?

@blargeauxite @Bitcoin_Teddy Phasing out workers so corporations can make even more money while poverty sky rockets is progress? Creating AI models that can sieve through mass amounts of data so governments and private businesses can create a surveillance state is progress? The world you’re creating is 1984

@Bitcoin_Teddy Biden straight told AI founders “don’t even bother, we won’t let you win.” That’s just mafia behavior from people who couldn’t build shit themselves.
