    “It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.”

      We are expendable plebs to them. They want to strip any agency we have. Robots and AI are perfect employees. If the rest of humanity surrenders their critical thinking skills to AI, they will have the brutish, sick, short lived slaves they desire.

        Computers are the perfect slaves thay they desire. No sick days, no talking back, no kids to pick up from daycare. Once they have “AI” doing everything for them, they’d be perfectly happy to let other humans rot.

    Shedd, whose professional career was largely spent as a software integration engineering manager at Tesla before being tapped to head the TTS, came to the government with AI top of mind. He reportedly wants GSA to operate like a software startup

    Last I checked, startup culture involved burning money to market and sell a “revolutionary” idea, with the end goal being to get purchased by a bigger player in the industry and walking away with a wad of cash.

    It kind of puts 2025 into perspective if you look at it that way.
