quoting @WHOSTP47 and @nytimes

@etbrooking (Emerson T. Brooking) — 18h life comes at you fast I guess [Embedded quote card:] White House OSTP 47 ✅ 🦅 X.com @WHOSTP47 Lazy and inaccurate reporting from @NYT on this policy. The EO creates a process for frontier labs to voluntarily share cutting-edge cyber models in order to secure critical infrastructure and strengthen the government's own cyber defenses. We are NOT conducting oversight of all new models, [highlighted in yellow:] as that level of government overreach would have chilling effects on free speech and innovation. > QUOTED: @nytimes (The New York Times) — 6/2/26 > Breaking News: President Trump signed an executive order that asked tech companies to give the government oversight of new A.I. models before releasing them to the public. nyti.ms/4udkgzn

Screenshot of a screenshot — White House OSTP account's rebuttal to NYT reporting, with a portion highlighted in yellow (likely by the original poster/reader) emphasizing the "chilling effects" line; framed sarcastically by Brooking.
