    “Open weight models are good (kind of)” is still up here https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/remarks-by-chair-lina-m-khan-at-y-combinator.pdf

    The objectively best part about them is scaling them small enough to run privately. The problem with AI as a “National Security” strategy is that it is a Skynet datacenter strategy. The reason to remove government content that it is ok for you to use AI for your purposes is that Skynet won’t be able to control you. The motivation for all of the datacenter investments is that the US government will buy all of the datacenter time to ensure Israel’s rule over the US.

    As we can see, Biden (and we can assume also his would-be successor Harris) was just another Democrat beholden to corporate interests. He used Lina Khan to further the appearance of caring about consumers and working on their behalf.

    Edit: It looks like I may have been mistaken and both sides are really not the same.

      You obviously did not follow the woman’s work. She was hitting monopolies hard when no one else had the guts to. She was our lest best hope to break the oligarchy.

      Your not wrong that corporations win regardless of the party but how does a Trump appointee removing posts turn into an example of democrats being guilty of this?

      Like, there is a inexhaustible lists of examples of how the class war is ingrained in politics, you don’t need to invent any and regardless of your intentions i doubt this is accomplishing them.

      You talk about it like she just sat there, once she was appointed.

      I think that discounts the agency that Lina Khan had and still has post appointment.

      She speaks quite passionately about pro consumer economic policies and actually started cracking down on some of monopolies that hurt consumers. Hell of a lot more than I’ve seen from many US politicians recently.

      Either way I don’t think I’m changing your mind so I’ll stop here.
