It’s about control. He wants to dictate the terms and regulations.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to vet the models to make sure they say nice things about Trump.



Objectively untrue. He lacks the cognition to realize anything of the sort. “Mythos is so scary!!1!1” is a PR line.


Trump doesn’t even realize when he’s soiled himself again.


I’ll give it a year before this “voluntary” evaluation becomes mandatory, while standards based on industry-leading models, dictate guardrails impossible to implement for upcoming models. And thus giving reason to consider would-be competitors’ models a “national security risk": evaluated by a board, which by then, is composed of “experts” with a vested interest in the leading industry…

Personally I believe AI models, using content for which they do not have the creator’s explicit permission, have no right to exist (at least as a commercially available product).


He doesn’t realize shit for more than a few minutes at a time.


AI safety testing under Trump is just another way to slow down competition for Musk’s xAI.

Elon is a boss at paying off government to slow down any competition.

The clear pattern of him deciding to throw something out and then realizing that it’s actually very important, he should really read about chesterton’s fence it’s a shame that he can’t read.

You don’t need an LLM to find that pattern.
