gently, I think this is an example of what Atoosa is talking about: the calculations for prominent populist politicians who are not in office are very different to those of the White House regardless of party, so it's not such a strong signal about actual pause likelihood, but perhaps is one w.r.t. to general polarization of AI more prosaic example: in the UK Labour politicians, *especially those not in Cabinet* love to talk about weakening ties with the US, but Starmer's actions to stay close reveal the geopolitical reality
It's fundamentally not super hard to get *a conversation* with top level politicians via some avenue if you have a cause with even a tiny amount of media and a 501c4. It's also quite tractable to get politicians to sign on to some thing fairly superficially (and even in some cases, to start bills they know won't go anywhere in the Senate). But overly indexing on this has always been a lobbying failure mode and leads one to drastically overestimate chances of action.
@NathanpmYoung @Dr_Atoosa I think last year I would have predicted it would not be very hard, simply because any kind of vague anti-AI line goes down well messaging-wise on the left wing of the Democrats.
@herbiebradley @Dr_Atoosa So you think those things are no evidence? You think that the worlds in which they didn't happen the AI pause folks knew more about this topic than the ones in which they did?

@herbiebradley @Dr_Atoosa For the sake of argument, noted. So you don't expect widespread success from this as it currently stands?
