David Sacks Rejects AI 'Doomerism' as 4 Tech CEOs Back Slower Development

Summary
David Sacks used X on Monday to dismiss AI catastrophe warnings and accuse leading labs of seeking regulation that would shield them from competition.
His attack followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's warning Saturday that AI is advancing too fast to build safely, a view later echoed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis.
JD Vance said the Trump administration is concerned about AI but views companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic pushing for federal rules as a possible 'Trojan horse.'
The commentary argues Congress—not agencies or tech executives—should decide any AI limits, noting no U.S. regulator was created specifically to oversee the technology.
