I don’t think we used high-powered lobbyists in NY or CA (someone correct me if I’m wrong); their legislators already wanted to regulate the big AI companies, and they (and their staffers) are smart enough to distinguish it from the sloppy AI bills they usually see.
At the federal level, both Dems and the GOP want to go after the big AI companies, and I believe there’s a bill with teeth that almost all of Congress would privately agree with. The problem is that the anti-regulation lobby already has Trump in their pocket, so they just need to buy one-third of the Senate to stop a veto override. MAGA senators are the most obvious targets, because Republicans don’t remain in office for long if they feud with Trump.

This got me thinking: what’s the marginal return on placing or educating staffers, as opposed to electing a believer?
