Behold this absolutely *artistic* bit of water-carrying for corruption in POLITICO's nightly newsletter. It's "misaligned" to expose an AI investor using his government perch to enrich AI investors!
![Their reaction illustrates the vast, and ever-widening, gap between how the tech world understands the role of government and how Washington does. Sacks serves as what's known as a special government employee in the Trump White House, with a mandate to address questions of tech regulation. The specific details of Sacks' job, though, have become something of a Rorschach test. When you read that a top government official who is an adviser in the AI space is clearing the path for his friends in the industry to profit, do you see a visionary or a compromised leader who is engaged in a base form of
crony capitalism? Many in the tech industry, even those who are not particularly fans of Sacks, understand his role in government as breaking down guardrails and preventing onerous regulation that could hamstring the growth of AI. If his friends who run the country's biggest AI companies — and the venture firms that invest in them - are benefiting as a result,
that's just par for the course. "This is exactly what is expected when you hire an Al investor as an AI advisor to the government. You're betting on his taste," said Aishwarya Khanduja, the founder of Analogue Group, a venture fund focused on
the research and development sector. Khanduja, herself an O-1 visa holder potentially threatened by some Trump administration policies, is far from reflexively pro-Silicon Valley. But in her view, the idea that a pro-AI investor would try to influence government policy to the benefit of fellow pro-Al investors (and his own fund) is obvious. "The piece feels misaligned: it's presenting absolutely normal [special government employee]
dynamics as if they're some big reveal."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ig5djks6d6e6kyet32abh5zs/bafkreie3w5mgfpmbyfsg56oblwja3ruivjjkhfdtioftzzrpxflembdrsy@jpeg)
