This is a "not like that" situation. They wanted "AI safety" legislation guaranteeing them rent money. What they're likely getting is legislation to slow down data center buildout and make them more environmentally sane (more expensive upfront cost).

And open models are coming whether they like it or not.

Oh, and if the Dems take OpenAI and Anthropic's AI safety rhetoric at face value, nationalization and other forms of substantial government interference is on the table. A predictable outcome of irresponsible fear mongering!
