The race for “control” of AI boils down to who gets to feed and train AI.
AI/AGI will be here to stay. Whoever parents and imparts “values” to AI matters.
Will AI train on democratic values or totalitarian ones?

Well then. The “free speech” regime threatens the existence of media that dare to criticize it. Backing up those threats, they’ve sued and excluded outlets that they perceive as unfriendly.

Excellent series! The absence of a shared reality is SO severe- it can’t be overstated. Perception is reality, and confirmation bias fuels the information divide.
Part 3 is the most compelling in the series so far-

You know what I like most about running a zipline? Guiding people through the visceral fear they feel, helping their brains find a sensible path, watching trust and reason win as they leave the platform. Remembering the moment later gives them strength, confidence & fortitude for the next challenge.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.
