Hello Aaron!

For the past few years the media has been talking about AI way too
much, but they NEVER give any explanation of why it's so important.
OpenAI's CEO is now "warning" that "AI must be paced by stronger safeguards, or else Terminator 2 will happen." There are dozens of
similar news reports all saying the same thing, but they never explain why.
President Trump (the only authority I trust) explained the reality perfectly clear: "China stands to benefit from the USA imposing "guardrails" on AI development, and the USA must stay on ahead of
China in AI development.
IOW: The left wants China to defeat us in AI development, and they
think we're dumb enough to cripple our own AI development to make it happen.
Trump on Truth Social:
'THE ONLY CONTROL OR "GUARDRAILS" THAT AI NEEDS IS A STRONG AND SMART (HIGH IQ!) PRESIDENT, AND THE U.S.A. HAS THAT, IN SPADES!'
In the past couple years, AI has gone from a "neat toy" to being at least 50% of my job. Today, an AI agent with enough access and no guardrails could probably collapse the US economy in a pretty short time. Everything is controlled by computers, and AI agents are extremely good at doing the boring, repetitive, tedious tasks that humans are not good at, such as probing systems for vulnerabilities. They don't give up when they're bored, and newer models are getting better at thinking "outside the box".
Meanwhile, the "High IQ" president has a secretary of education that can't even spell AI (She famously called it "A1", as in "A1 Steak Sauce"). When pressed if Trump used AI for anything he claimed "Yes I do" when pressed on how he used it, he refused to elaborate.
I'm by no means an AI doomsayer. It's an incredibly useful tool and has made my job MUCH easier, and much more efficient. The way to prevent China from jumping ahead on AI is to prevent the exports of high end TPUs, NPUs and GPUs to China, and ENFORCING those restrictions. Companies like NVidia and AMD were restricted from selling their high end processors to Chinese customers by law until earlier this year, but China was still able to get them because it was poorly enforced. Both AMD and NVidia knew that their products were getting into Chinese customers hands, but they didn't care, because it was just more money in their pockets.
