There is absolutely no way anyone is going to murder their way to an AI pause, if anything killing the heads of leading AI companies would embolden B string players. These ineffectual attacks alone may tilt these companies' PR toward obsfucation on matters important to the public

Attacking Altman’s home is awful but I think we will see far more of this sort of thing. If people believe the optimistic case for AI is they became part of the “permanent underclass” and the pessimistic case is they die they’ll lash out. Part of why that meme is horrible

I said this at the time: if the Democrats had just calmed tf down in 2020 and let Trump be a normal two-termer like all previous presidents going back to 1992, then he'd have been done in 2024 and Pence would have lost badly in the election that year. 2024-32 is the Amy Klobuchar Era (or whatever) in this scenario. Instead, by forcing the '20 election down a politically unnatural, excessively "tryhard" path (mail-ins, riots, etc), the Democrats manufactured what may wind up being a 16-year or even 20-year Trump Era, if Vance has success.
