A lot of the article reads like some SV industry lobbyists' talking points (seriously lacking in clarity of perspective), but this particular quote make me really balk: "Though it would take a lot of careful thought, it might produce good results if regulators were compensated with some version of equity in what they regulate." Oh, yes, let's institutionalize some conflicts of interest that are in your personal favor, Sam. I do somewhat agree with what he said about education and pure research though: those are indeed investments and should be treated as such. Also, @ecopoesis: I don't think immigration reform and getting current residents jobs are at odds the way you're implying they are (I somewhat agree with Sam Altman's view on this issue).
