    I am very pro-AI (although I do think we need to have a culture of caution) but this is another red-alert for democracy. People should be terrified if the president is able to make you into a state enemy just because you said you are against some technology.

      The president calling you a foreign agent has just had his son's wedding paid for by a Russian criminal boss with close ties to Putin. A classic "the thief shouts "Catch the thief!" louder than everyone else"

      >the president is able to make you into a state enemy just because you said you are against some technology.

      not only technology. Any opposition to the Great Leader on any issue.

        "every accusation is a confession" is the quote that applies to this government
