President Donald Trump on Monday pushed back on growing calls for greater regulation of artificial intelligence, and lashed out at Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei following his urgent plea for an AI slowdown.
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“The Trump Administration has stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad, or potentially bad, ‘things,’ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’ - and we will continue to do so!” Trump wrote.
You can’t put the genie back in the bottle. The Chinese are certainly not trying. Either America keeps up, innovates and secures or it too shall pass.
What specifically is an “AI slowdown”? Can this be defined in specific terms? Is this like an “assault weapons ban”?
Our patch cadence for our installed hardware has increased quite a bit since the first of the year.
And now Check Point has introduced CPLP, which is:
“a built-in mitigation-delivery service included with the Gaia operating system. It closes critical vulnerabilities in the field by applying targeted, in-memory fixes (Live Patches) to already-running Check Point processes, without restarting the process and without rebooting the Gaia server, so protection is in place immediately.
CPLP helps decrease the time-to-protection for critical issues and lets you decide when to install the permanent Hotfix or Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator during a planned maintenance window.”
Interesting times.

These CEOs at ChatGPT and Anthropic are not suddenly altruistic humanitarians, and for bonus points it earns them favor with Chairman Xi now smiling in their direction.
Tech companies, political leaders, and industry messaging groups have launched an aggressive PR counter-offensive, leaning heavily on claims that the grassroots anti-data-center movement is being fueled by Chinese influence operations.
Public backlash against the unchecked construction of data centers has surged dramatically. Multiple polls, including a notable Gallup survey, reveal that roughly 70% of Americans now oppose local data center construction, citing soaring electricity bills, immense water consumption, and minimal long-term job creation. This unified opposition from both sides of the political aisle has led to massive project delays, over 180 local moratoriums, and a coordinated nationwide protest movement.
In response to this multi-billion dollar threat to the artificial intelligence boom, the tech industry and its allies have begun deploying “national security” rhetoric to reshape public opinion.
