I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

If you think about it, until now there’s been an u spoken, automatic limit on all government activity because some person has to actually implement all government activity.

That’s been, through all of history, at least some kind of filter on the actions government would take.

(I’m using the term “government” ultra loosely, since in this case it’s a private entity implementing policy; “government” as in an authority who can halt a person’s operations as they see fit. “Government” in the same way management or command structure or the principal’s office is like a “government” in its little realm of operation).

Up until now, government has to be done by people. But AI makes it easy to do tons of activity, which can have a larger disruptive impact.
