has a single journalist asked Jacob Coxon if he voted for the corrupt autocrat who dismantled U.S. cybersecurity standards and defenses?

it's interesting that every single AI doomsday newscycle just floats over the fact that a bunch of corrupt and incompetent clowns (many of which were openly supported by young white male tech employees) disemboweled regulatory autonomy like it's kind of an important part of the conversation

the fact that corruption has hollowed out U.S. corporate oversight almost entirely with the ENTHUSIASTIC support of a massive swath of Silicon Valley should warrant at least a paragraph somewhere if we're going to have any serious conversation about tech ethics

I will die on the hill that corporate power and the right/libertarian assault on regulatory autonomy and corporate oversight is a MUCH bigger threat to life and limb than software going sentient and trying to kill us all and it's not like you couldn't write hyperbolic headlines about the former

I never thought I'd live in a country with a straight-up fascist governing administration controlled by oligarchs, but that was clearly a failure of imagination on my part.
