Mollie Hemingway brought up one agenda driving AI titans. She brought up the issue of regulatory capture. It’s aimed at keeping smaller competitors out. That’s likely one reason.
SHANNON BREAM: Dario Amodei worries about the takeover of the internet by these AI agents. But he talks about China: “If we greatly restrain our AI capabilities in the belief China will do the same, and then China defects, A.I. could be so powerful that such a defection could lead to their geopolitical dominance.” How do you measure these imbalances?
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: First of all, Dario Amodei runs an AI company, but if he really believes these things, he has complete control.
SHANNON BREAM: That is what David Sacks, Just do it, you run the company, do it.
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: It is an issue of our common Washington, D.C. People seek regulatory capture. You’ve made it to the top of the heap, and you want to keep everybody else out by regulating so the smaller competition companies cannot rise.
So this is particularly concerning for this particular issue because these six or seven top AI oligarchs are all massively aligned with the Democratic Party, the left. They want to make sure they have control for a post-Trump environment, so they can engage in ongoing censorship and control, and keep anybody else out for decades to come.
So it is totally legitimate to be concerned about AI. I myself am as well. But when you see a massive op like this going on, you have to wonder about precisely the motivation.

The Other Agendas
Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Barack Obama are also making it into a wedge issue for the midterms. They are terrorizing people into obedience.
Then we have Bill Gates is calling for international control. The dangerous globalists are right there to see how they can exploit the opportunity.
Some are legitimately afraid prematurely. What I do know is we had better beat the CCP. If we don’t, we will be eating dust as they speed off with a very powerful tool.
Despite the problems, the answer is NEVER more big government, not ever, especially not one run by DSA-embracing Democrats. Every time you create more government, you surrender more freedom.
As with the pandemic, Russiagate, and Climate Change hysteria, real problems or issues are exploited. In those issues, it was to further the Democrat agenda, so beware.
