My perception is that Trump 2 is on track to be far worse (e.g. in terms of eroding democratic practices and institutions) than Trump 1. My vague understanding is that a main driver of this difference is how many people gave up on the “working with bad guys to make them less bad” plan—though probably this was not directly because they changed their view on such reasoning.
Should this update us on the working for net-negative AGI companies case?
My sense is that the main change is that Trump 2 was better prepared and placed more of a premium on personal loyalty, not that people were more reluctant to work with him for the sake of harm minimization.
