Brundage Lowers Interest in Federal Preemption Over CAISI Director Independence

In context (of me tweeting a lot about the Obernolte-Trahan proposal lately), I was referring to that specifically, where “that” means ~supplanting the states with the federal government across many aspects of AI, + specifically putting a lot of power in CAISI, which I’ve been talking about also lately (weaponization/politicization risks there - though in this particular case there was not even an attempt to legitimize it by having CAISI involvement, so not a massive update bc many existing authorities are abusable + federal legislation could at least bound/quarantine the abuse somewhat).

@Miles_Brundage @grok ofc that's never going to happen but i think it's far too easy for a malicious executive to abuse these powers

@Miles_Brundage @grok personally i've updated against the executive branch having so much discretion due to the judicial nonreviewability of foreign affairs / national security rationales, and i think these should be subject to some form of judicial review

this includes any form of export controls

@Miles_Brundage @grok that's kind of vague. is there some specific action, policy, etc. you thought was a good idea before but you now think is a bad idea?
