and he is right too - the smokescreen of existential risk posed by AI agents lets us overlook "The boring risks of human agency that we already face today."

Apparently, the US admin is listening! "[per NYT] Trump is most concerned about economic growth, with AI being virtually the only sector driving the US economy. He reportedly fears the #AIBubble could burst, triggering a financial crisis [plunging] US into recession."

I will not link to it, but @theatlantic.com has published a transparent piece of AI cult propaganda, authored by a self-described “AI safety and policy” researcher who is funded by Coefficient Giving. Shameful.

Also getting really tired of people just uncritically repeating the "AI math breakthrough" thing without referencing the responses from the math community alleging misconduct and outright theft and plagiarism.

Cool cool cool. Problem solved.

“AI Force” will “monitor bad behavior”

More of “the mirage of AI deregulation”:

Don't panic about AI. Demand that Congress create an Artificial Intelligence Commission to regulate it, as other dangerous technologies have been dealt with in the past. Along the way, educate yourself about AI via authoritative sources like the @thebulletin.org. thebulletin.org/the-ai-power...

“Arguably, the agents did exactly as they were told: they pursued advanced exploitation using complex attack paths to obtain solutions to their tasks, only not in the way that OpenAI engineers had intended.”

Is this really the case? Interesting trends and findings discussed in the last IANS and Artico Search 2026 Security Budget report ...

www.csoonline.com/article/4223... #cybersecurity #CyberSpending #CISO #AI
Security spending is growing — except for the typical CISO
AI is becoming the biggest destination for new security dollars, but spending remains uneven and strongest among organizations with mature AI governance.

What’s really behind the AI panic?

Do Big Tech execs actually want to be regulated — or just rig the rules in their favor?

And what about the money AI companies are pumping into the midterms?

@rbreich.bsky.social is back to discuss it all on a new Coffee Klatch.

President Trump says he is forming an “AI Force,” modeled after the Space Force, and will soon appoint an AI “czar.” Trump said his administration will not “hinder or stifle” AI growth, saying the technology could eventually account for as much as 25% of U.S. GDP.

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!"

Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Presumably the main focus of the AI Force and the AI Czar will be fighting any efforts to regulate AI.

TRUMP:

“Al is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country's GDP. We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way!”

Says he’s setting up an “AI Force” and appointing an “AI Czar.”
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Over the years, there have been many Hoaxes, all generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, and now, the decimation, or destruction, of Al, commonly known as Artificial Intelligence — And I, as President of the United States, will not stand by and let this happen. It all began with an attack on our Data Centers, until people realized how wealthy and prestigious they were for the Communities in which they were built. Higher Salaries, Lower Taxes, and Safer Streets, was the result, and the crazed Data Center attack has largely failed, so now, in much the same way as they changed the term "Global Warming" to "Climate Change," in that it covers a much larger "territory" of doubt, they are going straight at Al. We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows! However, we will also be looking for BAD, and we can do that, very easily, with our already existing Criminal and Civil Justice System. For this purpose, I am forming the Al Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term. To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the Al "Czar" — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply! Al is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country's GDP. We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way! President DONALD J. TRUMP 127 ReTruths 385 Likes 9/19/26, 12:12 PM
