I hate hate hate that my niche internet obsession is now an oval office power struggle.
Quotes from the president of the united states in the last twelve hours:
“The only control or guardrails that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT”
“There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers”
“Americanism, not effective altruism”
“AI taking of the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA”

Are we gearing up for a lepoard face moment from the cultist faction of the cultist / oligarch-technofedual-lord / grifter / authoritarian alliance? Nah, lesswrongers don’t even have that level of introspection. Plus a lot of them are outright pro-oligarch-technofedual-lord, at least enough so that it outweighs their doomer-cultists allegiance.

Letting normies who never learned to spot a mailing-list blowhard and a comment-section troll onto the Internet was a mistake.
