Spooked by Mythos, Trump suddenly realized AI safety testing might be good

The Mythos AI incident spooked Donald Trump into a dramatic U-turn on AI safety testing, reversing his earlier dismissals. Within 48 hours, he publicly endorsed federal testing protocols, a 180-degree shift that generated 1.2 million social media mentions. This policy flips faster than #7's DeepMind training adjustments and more abruptly than the average regulatory pivot, but critics dismiss it as panic-driven rather than substantive reform.
