Summary

The tweet argues that Democrats historically use crises to expand government control and are now doing the same with AI by portraying it as an existential threat to justify regulation.

Connect the dots. -The Federal Reserve system. -FDR’s “New Deal." -Y2K. -“Net Neutrality.” -“Climate Change.” -“Green New Deal.” -Obamacare. -Dodd/Frank. -COVID. What did they all have in common? 1. Democrats did it. 2. They relied on an actual crisis or an invented crisis to put a largely irrational, existential fear in the minds of average Americans. 3. As a result, personal liberty and economic freedom were willingly handed over to the central government for “safety.” (Or, as with “Net Neutrality,” that handover was attempted but failed.) 4. The effort perversely resulted in the exact opposite of the stated aims. 5. The only groups to benefit were (i) Democrat politicians, (ii) Deep State bureaucrats and (iii) an oligarchy of corporations who gained market control and coincidentally were huge Democrat donors. Connect the dots. Now consider how overnight the Democrats have uniformly decided AI is an existential threat to humanity that must be brought under the control of the powerful central government and a handful of existing oligarchs in the space.
