AI & The Same Old Politicized Hysteria
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness,
The midterm elections are six weeks away.
Suddenly, a debate has erupted over the existential dangers of artificial intelligence. Jacob Coxon, a little-known Silicon Valley researcher who worked at OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned and went public with a dire warning: AI now threatens the future of the world.
Shortly beforehand, news broke of the Hugging Face episode, in which OpenAI's advanced AI "agents" autonomously hacked another company's computers.
Bedlam followed.
Weaponizing AI
Almost on cue, Democrats seized on the alarm as a new cause célèbre, accusing Donald Trump and the MAGA movement of recklessly courting Armageddon.

Trump Rejects Push for International Pact to Manage AI Risks (Bloomberg)

Representative Lori Trahan, a Democrat from Florida, said that President Trump is 'not in lockstep' with the American people when it comes to AI guardrails and that the president's claim that AI risks are a 'globalist scheme' is out of touch with what the public is feeling. Trahan, who co-authored a bipartisan bill on AI guardrails, said that she feels action shouldn't wait until the next congress and that congress is 'gambling' with the next AI security incident by sending members home ahead of the midterms.
