Bove needs to understand that someone as repulsive and crooked as him only has a few possible futures in post-Trump America and “disgraced public laughingstock” is on the gentler end of the spectrum

I have not heard anyone but internet randos say "AI is useless turn it all off."
I have heard thoughtful people say "it's being used in nefarious ways, and we probably shouldn't replace human teachers and universities with it" which seems reasonable to me.

well not what I said, but how is "the hot tech seems to be a product completely of the current ascendant fascist movement and they intend to use it against us" a conflation of anything?
The alternative is "genAI might do lots of useful shit, someday" in the face of that reality is just wishcasting

This is spot SPOT on. They have realized in the last ten years that our current techno-environment is ripe ground for their project. Of course they love it.

It's just a juvenile conception of having choice in politics.
A healthy govt has representatives that, in concert, represent the array of valid interests of the range of the populace. Not "every representative should strive to parrot the median opinion" (which isn't even a definable concept)

The biggest tech revolution of our time is the solar industry, the biggest proponent of which was the Biden Administration as codified in the IRA. Would you say that was "ceded to the right"?

This is the correct take.
Why does "Musk and Thiel are literal nazis and perverts" and "AI doesn't f'n work and we need to teach the kids to read first" mean luddite/pessimism?

Dont let any lawyer tell you that this stuff is legal just because the President "announced" it or whatever. These are scams and outright crimes and we should never pretend otherwise.

Besides the disgusting characterization of Crockett as basically just left-MAGA, this is honestly an embarrassing this to think, much less write: "Is this the time for the party to go back to the kind of more polite politics last seen on The West Wing"
