1. Each gigawatt of continuous power generates roughly $60-65 billion in annual GDP, meaning AI labs need massive new power infrastructure to grow revenue.
2. Open-source AI regulation is likely to target data centers with KYC controls rather than the models themselves, since anyone can run them locally.
3. Mustafa Suleyman says training Claude to believe it may deserve moral patient status could make superintelligent systems harder to control.
4. The White House Accord commits labs to internal controls, external audits, and independent board oversight covering cyber, bio, and chemical threat monitoring.
