this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

The behaviour of the Trump administration in Europe has been summed up in one quote from a Wall Street Journal article. My take:
davekeating.substack.com
“We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here.”
Explosive revelations about Trump’s ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle in the Wall Street Journal show the extent of the White House’s mafia-like extortion racket in Europe.

German far-right leader thanks Elon Musk after landmark election win praised by Russia
A far-right leader who has won an important state election in Germany has thanked Elon Musk for his support, as voices in Europe warn the result is a serious moment for the continent. No far-right party has led or formed a government in Germany since the defeat of nazism at the end of the second world war.

In the 90s S-A saw the best result of a far-right party in Germany before the AfD. 13% for the DVU in 1998. S-A should not be the basis for sweeping conclusion about the electoral sociology of the AfD. The consequences might be far-reaching but your reporting will contribute to these consequences.
