2. This doom trolling is getting old

Anthropic's and OpenAI's stupid models are not going to end the world, and they are not so good that they need to be reviewed as national security threats. Trump and his friends are insanely long the AI trade, and are inflating the importance of these two companies, which both have a pretty high chance of failing. These stories are really press releases to inflate the value of these two companies and their entire ecosystems in order to push stock prices and raise more money at higher valuations for the two major LLMs and xAI, Musk's steaming pile of garbage. This is a pump and dump.

Predictive models, which are what Anthropic and OpenAI produce, are also not Artificial Intelligence. They are predictive models. This is relatively mature technology that is still very glitchy and simply does not work. I have spent decades in the IT industry, and it is supposed to improve efficiency and accuracy, but the LLM's seem to do the opposite.
