This is the real danger of AI, not some nonsensical theory that it might end all of humanity Whoever controls the bot controls whatever information it allows users to know

Here, the Trump Admin shows why it can't run AI policy. They use AI to push partisan propaganda on a day-to-day basis and can't handle its chatbot telling the truth about the election. How much will AI policy be tilted in their partisan & personal favor if this continues? x.com/ddale8/statu...

The Trump administration appears to have changed its AI chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies. Yesterday: It said Biden won the 2020 election and there's no indication of widespread fraud. Today: Says it can't answer such questions.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,
