I had assumed government would eventually start gatekeeping LLMs, but I had assumed there was at least a decade or more before we crossed that line.
We really are living in the future that the best scifi spent 100 years trying to warn us off of.

Guys, this is a major milestone the AIs have finally achieved a higher intelligence level than the government.

The subtext is that nobody, including national cyber security experts, have any idea what's going to happen a year from now. These staging programs reek of "we have no idea what we're doing" and is literally "please just slow down until we figure it out" ...but it's not going to.

Iâ(TM)m not so sure. I have a strong feeling that the oh no, your AI is TOO POWERFUL! stuff is largely bullshit that helps build hype and supports grift. I know AI tools have gotten better but Iâ(TM)m enmeshed in this shit every day and mostly all we keep doing is fixing shit AI results. I have developers whose primary job is now taking AI designed and generated proof-of-concepts (proofs-of-concept?) and fixing (or, rewriting) almost everything about the architecture and code to get it operational

I think Obama was one of our better presidents, but the government loaning Solyndra $535 was WRONG. Conservatives are right about some things, and one of them is that the government should not be picking winners and losers in business, because that inevitably leads to corruption as the best way to compete becomes bribing the government to pick your business.

This ship has sailed. The Democrats have [2]repeatedly payed money to prop up maga candidates [npr.org] while also screaming [3]they are a threat to Democracy [nbcnews.com].
Even if the Republicans are wolves, even if you read left-leaning news like NPR or MSNBC the Democrats fucked up anyone believing what they are saying. Stop fucking tampering with elections so we can get some presentable candidates to vote for. It's not that fucking hard.

Republicans lost two presidential elections, 2008 & 2012, due to running conservative candidates. So they gave up and became a further-left party. Now Obama looks like a relative conservative .. but Clinton & Harris look conservative _too_.
Voters are insisting on left-wing presidents, with the exception of Biden because the initial leftist shock of Trump pt1 was too much to absorb.
