I'm not that smart, but part of me thinks the whole "AI is going to end humanity if we don't slow down" narrative was a ruse to cover for the fact that AI isn't capable of what they've been promising and now they can pretend that the lack of further development is on purpose.

John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to "leave town" until it passes The Save America Actor, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a [HIGHLIGHTING STARTS] full and deep throated [HIGHLIGHTING ENDS] SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929! The Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can't believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership. Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!

Let me see if I'm understanding their theory correctly...
• When Donald won in 2016, Obama was in office, ran the intelligence agencies, and the election was secure.
• When Donald won in 2024, Biden was in office, ran the intelligence agencies, and the election was secure.
• When Donald lost in 2020 and now heading into the midterms, with Donald running the intelligence agencies, he says the election was stolen or can't be trusted.
