Hello, and welcome to TechScape.
Key facts
- Silicon Valley including Meta has embraced Maga politics, says Nick Clegg
- The reporter is your host, Blake Montgomery, the US tech editor at the Guardian
- He issued a watered-down executive order on model review last week and another demanding the US military accelerate AI adoption
- Should Trump push the growth approach, it does not seem likely he would press AI startups in the US to slow things down in the name of safety, whether in the form of constraining models’ capabilities

Or he could encourage AI firms to grow as lucrative and large as possible so the federal government can cash out like a venture capital firm.
