TWEETS OF NOTE
(@ThomasSowell) Commentary account “The more I study the history of intellectuals, the more they seem like a wrecking crew, dismantling civilization bit by bit — replacing what works with what sounds good.” — Thomas Sowell Tweet.
(@johnennis) In case you are having trouble figuring out what’s going on here is a summary: Anthropic and OpenAI desperately need regulatory capture or they are going to go out of business, and the Trump administration is not inclined to give it to them The Democratic party currently has no platform, as Trump is doing fine (other than perhaps the Iran war but Americans don’t really care about that), but they have identified that AI and data centers are a hot topic that they can ride So these two somewhat desperate groups have teamed up to run a psyop around the actual real topic of AI safety, greatly exaggerating the risks, with the understanding that if the Democrats get back into power they will provide the regulatory capture needed to keep these companies alive In return, these companies will support the Democratic Party and help to enforce left-wing ideology through the models Kind of sucks, but that’s what’s happening, and we need to oppose it because it will not be good if this plan succeeds Tweet.
