How do people fall for this shit?

As always, there’s a relevant XKCD.

None of this is to say there are absolutely no concerns about LLMs. Obviously there are. But there is no reason to suspect LLMs are going to end humanity unless some moron hooks one up to nuclear weapons.

And what are the odds LLMs will be used to write code for DoD systems? Or AI agents integrated into routine nuclear power plant operations? I think the odds of some moron hooking up a nuke to a brainless language generator are greater than you think.

Private somebody, certainly.

Throw out the nonpartisan federal workforce, replace them with private contractors who take their orders direct from partisan political appointees. That way they can carry out the President’s political agenda without any of those pesky “laws” or “facts” getting in the way.

The possibilities for grift (contracts going to Trump’s relatives, big donors, whatever CEO fawns on him the most on Truth Social) are just icing on the cake.
