    My guess is, the US government (aka DJT) won't really acknowledge AI risks until folks at NSA start to freak out while using latest models for various tasks...

      I don't think Trump has ever cared what the US intelligence community has to say about anything. Maybe when AI hacks his TruthSocial.

        Have you already forgotten the Claude Fable ban from a few months ago? That’s exactly what happened.

        Amazon called up Trump and said Fable was too dangerous. Trump called up the NSA and Asked For Their Opinion. They agreed, so Trump banned it.

          That's not how I remember it. Anthropic didn't grovel sufficiently when the White House/Pentagon wanted to use their models to kill people, so they were penalized for their disloyalty.
