Former Andreessen Horowitz GP John O'Farrell warns VCs are spending heavily on campaigns to bypass AI regulation

Interesting pushback on Public First, the anti-a16z super PAC.

@teddyschleifer @johnofa There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Mark Andreessen is a villain and a malevolent force in public life. I feel it in my bones. I’ve known it for years.

@teddyschleifer @johnofa Their money is fighting billions that's being spent by the other side.

This feels like a naive/disconnected take, this is the game on the field right now.

Paragraph 111: The Appeal to Developers “Developers, therefore, bear a particular ethical and spiritual responsibility, for every design choice reflects a vision of humanity. Just as the creator of an artistic or literary work must consider the values it conveys, so developers are called to embed values in their projects with due seriousness: with transparency, responsibility toward affected communities and careful attention to ensuring that what is being cultivated is a genuine good.” -- Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas

@teddyschleifer @johnofa “Democratic [intentionally ambiguous code word], diverse, equitable America” in his profile tells us all we need to know.

@teddyschleifer @johnofa I wrote about why this is going to kick off a shitstorm:

@teddyschleifer @johnofa The introspection

@teddyschleifer @johnofa He actually did not do that since you leave early if that’s true, not as long as possible. He left to cash in somehow that he wasn’t able to with a16z

@teddyschleifer @Kellblog @johnofa This guy sounds like a huge pain in the ass lmao

@teddyschleifer @johnofa EA cultist. Can safely ignore.

@teddyschleifer @johnofa His opinion piece is so disingenuous. The crypto industry playbook was to SEEK pro-crypto regulation, not NO regulation. Plus, this is a national security matter, not a topic that should be decided by "child safety advocates."

@bruce_lambert @teddyschleifer @johnofa lolz

@teddyschleifer No mention of the Democratic party alignment of trying to have only 2 AI firms. The self serving deception is truly just innate in some ppl

@bruce_lambert @teddyschleifer @johnofa What's the best example of his villainy?
