Something something every accusation is a confession.
A while ago, I was arguing with someone (if I'm not mistaken) about how AI is incompatible with politics, law and democracy due to the nature of the whole process involved in writing laws. Now I notice that this is exactly the point. AI's purpose has never been democracy. Democracy, as Peter Thiel and his followers argued, is an obstacle in the front of tech's development, in the front of profit, of capital. As such, the logic solution is to get rid of it - and that's exactly what Trump is doing.
AH! NOW I GET IT!
This is the bet the tech bros were working towards.
AI will not be profitable unless it is propped up by government contracts...
Tax Payer Money will be funneled in from the Gov to failed technology that will be forced on the federal workers to work around.
Something needs to happen to these people. I won't say what, but something.
Fascism written by a brainless fascist or written by just a brainless thing, instruced by a brainless fascist.
