Hassett Welcomes OpenAI and Musk Backing Amodei’s AI Post

The notable signal is not the endorsement itself but the alignment it implies: figures as commercially and politically divergent as OpenAI, Musk and Anthropic's CEO converging around a single framing gives that framing unusual weight as a de facto private-sector position. Hassett's willingness to label it a roadmap, and to call AI safety solvable, suggests the White House is content to let industry set the terms rather than legislate them. Whether that deference holds once safety proposals carry compliance costs is the open question.
