Washington DC Lobbyists Discover AI Can Pay For Their Third Beach Houses
Ah, wonderful. The lovely folks in Silicon Valley and Washington have spent the last 72 hours trading billions of dollars and panic attacks over whether a rogue algorithm is going to turn us all into paperclips. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia shattered lobbying records because apparently, writing legislation about superintelligence requires an unlimited supply of high-end scotch and panicked consultants. Out here in Todos Santos, the Pacific is firing clean, head-high sets, and local fishermen are entirely unbothered by whether an AI agent can write a passable tax loophole. Let the billionaires burn their venture capital trying to outlaw the apocalypse; we're too busy watching the pelicans drop into the lineup to care.
