I'm more bullish on GAAIA (the Trahan-Obernolte bill) than a lot of safety types, but one flaw that a lot of people (including me, initially) overlooked is that the whistleblower protection section strips out all of the good stuff that Sen. Grassley's AI Whistleblower Protection Act included. Most notably, the protection for disclosures about "substantial and specific" dangers to public health/public safety/national security.

I talked about why it's necessary to protect that kind of disclosure in my Lawfare whistleblower piece from a year ago, and IMO the hypothetical I used to illustrate the issue has aged pretty well.
