Last week, I wrote this letter to my congressman, Republican Rep. David Rouzer, who represents North Carolina’s 7th district, over the growing speculation that AI companies will eventually come to Congress for a bailout if things go south (which, in my opinion, is all but guaranteed to happen). Since I wrote it using his website’s email submission form, I was unable to add hyperlinks. Those that you see added here were done so for the purposes of this re-post.


Dear Congressman Rouzer,
