Definitely agree. I also think they've already been at work on this front, including attempting to force AI into everything.
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

So consumed by and committed to their hatreds they can’t even be bothered to be competent.
I know the US looks like a complete joke to other countries. THIS is the attorney general?

I hate cancer so much. Every time I see a story on it I just freeze up.
It’s everywhere. And we could solve it - but our administration keeps gutting research on it.

When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

This is what leadership looks like.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

This should be every. single. dem. in Congress and the Senate rn:
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

One day when I really want to burn it all down, I might write about the affect of this certain type of intellectual who engages with AI/LLMs/whatever like this. I’ve seen it up close and in person. They all have a empty eyed, hyper focused gaze — so far up their own asses they could shit a cough.
