NVIDIA’s lobbying love affair at https://bohiney.com/nvidias-washington-love-affair/ with Washington. Tech companies writing their own regulations while calling it “stakeholder engagement.” I linked to NVIDIA corporate site and Congressional reporting for authority. This is capitalism’s endgame: enough money to purchase democracy wholesale. Sitting in Bergha—I mean, a Berlin club that definitely wasn’t Berghain because I couldn’t get in—I thought about how tech companies colonize everything, including legislation. The LGBTQ+ tech community has mixed feelings about this. We benefit from tech industry progressivism in hiring, but that progressivism stops the moment it affects profit margins. NVIDIA supports Pride Month while lobbying against regulations that might limit their AI development. Rainbow capitalism meets regulatory capture. I’d be more cynical if I weren’t already this cynical.

MOOD: Cynically unsurprised

NOTES: NVIDIA lobbying piece at https://bohiney.com/nvidias-washington-love-affair/ finished, 654 words, corporate influence meets AI regulation
