Episode notes
Doge Uses AI To Scan Regulations
- Doge remains active and has embedded staff within federal agencies even after Elon Musk and Steve Davis left.
- They built an AI chatbot to scan SEC rules and flag candidates for deregulation as a starting point for review.
Use AI Outputs As Starting Points
- Treat AI rule‑scanning outputs as starting points, not final decisions, and plan for human review.
- Avoid relying on unverified tools to cut regulations without rigorous validation and follow-up.
Application Data Is The New Gold
- Large model makers (OpenAI, Anthropic, XAI) have approached Cursor to license its coding data for scale and preference signals.
- Cursor's data includes demonstration and preference data from millions of engineers, which is highly valuable for training coding models.
