Nah. That requires too much forethought and organization. AI is a clusterfuck of lies and conflicting plans.
Microsoft needed something BIG and SHINY to lure investors with after Crypto failed. So they donated an ungodly fortune to OpenAI so AI could be their new BIG SHINY thing.
OpenAI thought that of they could make an LLM big enough it would become a superintelligent computer god and rule the world with them at the wheel.
Musk dumped a bunch of money into it because he wanted AI because it sounds scifi and as it stands his Mars plans are a never happening. So he thought that maybe an AI could fix that and let him rule the world and Mars. Oh and as a way to save/control Twitter which he has run into the ground. Also he desperately wants to be Tony Stark.
Peter Thiel invested in it because he made his fortune throwing Venture Capital money around silicon valley. He probably saw it as another investment that might make him richer and give him more influence. (He is evil and is actively trying to be some sort of DIY illuminati guy). Later he decided it could be used to steal peoples data via illegal means and make him some form of Big Brother.
The US Government invested in it because Trump is an easily manipulated moron who thinks billionaires are always right and they sold him on it being a way to make him money and give him a legacy. So hes diverted a god damn insane amount of federal cash to data centers and AI companies.
And as AI comes on the scene, no one is agreeing on its use or on what they should or should not allow.
OpenAI is losing their shit because superintelligence is impossible and if they dont find a way to make it profitable, then they are fucked and going to prison or getting thrown out a window.
Theil is discovering that when you proclaim that you are Big Brother, people fucking hate you and want to see you destroyed. Also that Trump is too stupid to be a good puppet.
Microsoft is learning this was a terrible investment and everyone hates their AI Copilot and financing this by forcing windows 11 is likely going to ruin them longterm because its pushing the EU into switching to Linux.
Musk is trying to use it to control Twitter and is being investigated by 10 countries for his AI making deepfake porn and him not shutting it down. Also tying his AI company to SpaceX to hide its losses has resulted in SpaceX losing $600 billion in value.
And everyone else is freaking the fuck out because none of this is making anyone any money except that asshole Jensen Huang at NVIDIA who's basically a drug dealer right now.
Trump has no clue what's going on and zero control over anything involving AI.
And meanwhile, none of the scandals about Trumps corruption are being hidden. Its all out there. The zone is not being flooded with misinformation. It's being flooded with ACTUAL information.
Its just not being acted on because Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and declared that they wouldn't say no to trump. That's it. And now they're panicking because that plan is tanking their popularity and their chances of ever holding power again.
Thats why Trump is so desperate about the SAVE act for its voter suppression effects. He thinks it's the only way to stop republicans from loosing power. Meanwhile most republicans realize that if it gets passed, they won't just lose power for decade. They will be so reviled by Americans that it might actually wipe them out forever.
And they don't need AI. They have Fox News, which has republican voters so brainwashed that the only time they look up and say "hey...what the fuck?" Is when something inescapable happens like a major war or gass prices going up wildly.
