To be fair, I also think it was a correct decision to focus on the Democratic Party when advocating for sane AI notkilleveryoneism policy before the 2024 election, because that was playing to our outs. Trump will do on AI whatever he is personally paid to do, and the accelerationists have more money; anyone sane but unable/unwilling to bribe Trump has no influence whatsoever with him in this administration.
(I went around saying the above before the election, by the way.)
(Sorry for the mindkilling, it’s relevant on the object level.)
