<p>At least in the US, does the right have a coherent platform for an LLM to grasp onto?<p>They haven’t had a major policy platform in two decades and their cultural modus operandi is reactionary.<p>Not to mention, as an informal rule, the heavily-coded emotive underpinnings of right wing support are never talked about openly in public.<p>AI isn’t trained to have a reactionary/negative judgmental response on any query.</p>

<p>The machine gives you what you ask for even when that thing doesn’t exist yet.<p>Rather than “lights off,” utilizing information theory, decision-making theory and creativity theory makes me better at asking for the right things.<p>Memory is not transcribed to weights like when humans sleep. Memory is notes handed to someone on groundhog’s day who can’t remember yesterday. We hope they believe us. Don’t be too surprised when a highly entropic system introduces entropy to a project over time.</p>

<p>It is not complicated.<p>Because of the valuations of Open AI and Anthropic, Sam Altman may be credited with one of the all-time most damaging brand decisions when he got in bed with Trump’s department of war crimes.<p>This should have been SO OBVIOUS. Attempts to paper over the damage with a $100 billion dollar round will crumble after the IPO. Poor decisions generate poor options, and the whole industry smells his desperation.<p>Decisions at the highest level are indistinguishable from responsibility. All Sam accomplished was showing the world he is structurally unfit for moral leadership.</p>
