> The U.S. government will [1]require artificial intelligence vendors to measure political "bias " to sell their chatbots to federal agencies, according to a Trump administration [2]statement (PDF) released on Thursday. The requirement will apply to all large language models bought by federal agencies, with the exception of national security systems, according to the statement.

> President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies in July to avoid buying large language models that he labeled as "woke." Thursday's statement gives more detail to that directive, saying that developers should not "intentionally encode partisan or ideological judgments" into a chatbot's outputs.

Cause if I were an AI company I would do my ratings like this:
Nazi
Maga
Very Conservative
Moderately Conservative
Then tell him that the following were possibilities:
Liberal

Even though not a single AI got that those ratings.

this is so they can select the most insanely right-ring biased model possible. The language coming out of the current administration is painting anyone left of right wing nutjob as leftist terrorists.

Not really. The MAGA movement is more than one guy, and really it's the behind-the-scenes Project 2025 crowd controlling the agenda now.

We are already seeing the signs of post-Trump MAGA civil war starting to creep up. Trump turning against MTG is kicking up a bit of a storm, they can all tell the old man has a foot out the door.
You've got the Bannon wing versus the Technocratic Vance wing along with the Groypers on the rise and the MTG conspiratorial post-Q MAGA crowd along with the old school Heritage/Federalist and a few others.
These conservative groups have a lot of conflicting beliefs, what has held them together is a unified support of Trump, without him those old disagreements are bubbling up again. The thing about Trump that screws them is Trump himself does not give a shit about the party or any of these groups, he has no succession plan and is not an actual party leader. He could give two shits what happens after he's gone, not his problem, just say nice things at his funeral.

So two of them snuck in by getting nominated? The other two were already around. What about Hegseth and Gabbard? They're not neocons too right?
What's the even the angle here?
Trump wants the war.
Trump is easily manipulated into the war.
Trump doesn't want the war but is a shit judge of character and/or is unable to stand up for himself.

Most cults collapse when the figurehead dies. Dear Leaders death will create an interesting power vacuum and struggle for control. The MAGA movement goes back to the TEA party which was started because of Obama.
