> And it doesn’t stop with the security questions: the Trump administration’s signature style of international engagement is to wield American leverage as a bundle. Deadlocks in trade negotiations are broken by threatening to withhold intelligence, tech deals are stalled by reference to food safety standards. And so I don’t know when a U.S. administration would choose to leverage its seemingly inevitable predeployment authority over frontier models to secure its broader interests, but I’m sure it would in due time. That means that even if we do everything ‘right’ on the security and economic side, frontier access is still fundamentally contingent as long as there’ll be divergences between governments’ strategic interests.

The Trump Administration telling the very neo-fascist oligarchs who bought him an election and bought him a ballroom to play nice with their toys? At the expense of rampant capitalism? Lol.

He already showed us the limit of his comprehension of the topic when he made EO 14179 limiting states from regulating AI.

Trump doesn't swing for perfect pitches. He is a madman, a lunatic, and a true moron. Do not give this man any credit. I would be shocked if he could tell you the time on an analog clock.

> very neo-fascist oligarchs who bought him an election

Gotta low how it is ok to question the results of the latest presidential election but not the earlier one which is supposed to be sacrosanct, but again ok to question the one in 2016.

Somehow Trump is owned by capitalists but also starts trade/actual wars that thwart their agenda. I never understood how people come up with simplistic reductionistic views full of inconsistencies. Won't the evil capitalists and Neo fascists be served better with a predictable/controllable president?

		You can be a greedy pig and be an idiot simultaneously. You can see how those two things might even be correlated, no?

		I think “bought” here is to be read as “financed from”, not bought in the literal sense.

		> to question That's a weird way to characterize months of incessant "we have incontrovertible hard evidence but you can't see it yet" claims, which--when finally forced into the light--were laughed out of every court in the nation. If it was just pure and innocent "questioning", things would be very different. We probably wouldn't have had the January 6th mob attack on Congress, for example.

		Trump's second presidency is the best possible evidence that no one is driving the world in secret from behind the scenes.

		I think we all know by now who he is really owned by.
