Well, exactly. Nobody expects the White House to do technical development for AI, but they've unable to exercise "political leadership" on anything digital for decades. I don't see that changing.

They're so captured, so weak, so behind the times, so conflicted that they're not really able to do their jobs anymore. Yes, there are are a bunch of reasons for it, but the end result is the same: they are not effective digital regulators, and have never been, and likely won't be for the foreseeable future.

Maybe it looks better to the insiders. From the outside the whole thing seems like a sad joke, just another obvious cash grab regulatory capture.
