@DavidSacks One question voters might have:

If Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) could so easily lead to total information control -- an oppressive digital panopticon that crushes all freedom and dissent -- then why is a conservative Republican administration under @realDonaldTrump so

Free speech on social media was narrowly saved by Elon’s acquisition of Twitter followed by Trump’s historic election, but AI provides a second bite at the apple (and a much greater opportunity at that) for the censorship-industrial complex to achieve total information control.

One of my regrets about the Twitter Files is that I think we failed to convey the scale of the ideas being envisaged, like common international databases of speech offenders or the use of “content moderation” to re-shape the public’s understanding not just of news, but history.

The statement is part of a broader discussion on the potential risks of AI, particularly regarding information control and censorship. It engages with public concerns about freedom of speech and government influence over technology.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but engages in a critical discussion about potential risks.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by addressing concerns about AI and information control. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by questioning the role of political administrations in AI governance. [+1]
