That’s ultimately the question at the heart of the matter. What will come first, the AI false flag event that will trigger support for government regulation that includes liability protection; or the lawsuits against the AI developers for stealing intellectual property?
How you place your bet will likely determine your investment decision.
On one hand you have the AI frontier groups, developers who have stolen corporate secrets, extracted proprietary intellectual property, engaged in widespread copyright violations and built their AI models with mass unauthorized data collection. On the other hand, you have massive corporations, individuals and groups who have seen their intellectual property rights infringed by data harvesting to run the models.
The AI developers are requesting “regulation” which includes liability protection for outcomes as a result of users running their models. The investors into those AI developers also want regulation and liability immunity to protect their investments. This is the group now positioning for government regulation and selling the voices who control that decision (politicians) based on a pitch that includes government control over AI information. This is the group that will trigger the false flag to generate public support for AI safety.
The ordinary individuals & businesses who have seen their intellectual property stolen by the AI groups, the individuals who have watched their copyright protections violated, the corporations who benefit from increased AI efficiency but also see the downside from publicly exposed trade secrets now being widely available, would be the plaintiff group in a series of predictable lawsuits against the AI developers.
This is the core of the matter. Control/Immunity or Risk/Lawsuits. Mike Steger outlines the last two weeks:
.
Two years ago, I said we would reach an inflection point where the interests of Silicon Valley would conflict with the interests of MAGA. We are on the cusp of that moment. Will the Silicon Valley/Leftist-Govt win through regulatory control under the guise of ‘trust and safety’. Or will the larger population see through the scheme and align with liberty, freedom and the free-market approach.
Place your bets.

And on which side will JD Vance land?
We already know …
Probably the same side ultimately as the last created politician from Kenya
O bumma!
If on the wrong side, it will cost him the nomination. Rubio towers above Vance. My opinion of course. Hope Im not off topic, but who do the libtards have that can beat either?
Rumor is that AOC is positioning herself as THE progressive candidate – might be looking to get the nod for the VP slot if Newsom is the nominee?
She’s a dummer version of Kamala without the baggage. I can’t imagine what Rubio or JD would do to her in debate.
They will have all the questions before hand.
Lol..
Newsom will not be the nominee.
When was the last time a Congress Critter filled the Presidential slot?
Not a governor or senator.
Respectfully, Newsom is already done due to his record and overexposure.
So AOC instead of the Cackling Word Salad Commie Kamala…
Not a whole lot of difference there. AOC actually comes off a lot more stupid than Harris….but they are both morons.
Although……because AOC at times looks more like a horse or a jackass……she actually IS the better mascot for that DONKEY PARTY!
When it comes to the politicians of BigTech and Deepstate things are never what they seem on the surface.
Rubio says that Russia is loosing 25,000 soldiers a month and he knows that’s a lie.
Why is he lying to us with such an outrageous claim? It’s because he wants us to continue giving billions to Ukraine and wants us killing more Russians.
I don’t think a liar is what we want in the White House?
How many people die in a month in Russia?
I’ve heard our President say that too!
Cheating…🙄
Rubio has accomplished more. Vance just gives speeches and has an Indian wife. I have Indian fatigue!
Illegal voters.
I’m with you! I like Rubio better than Vance…and I’d even throw Tulsi in there somewhere maybe as a VP…….still don’t think I’m ready for a woman President
Especially since so many of them seem to be freaking flipping out right now!
Actually glad that I don’t have one to worry about!
🤣 🤣 🤣
Biden! The fraud is rampant a toaster can win.
‘”on which side will JD Vance land?”
the side that put him on the ticket

Not really much of a choice in my opinion.
JD Is with the intel people, and I keep thinking about Rubio writing that amnesty stuff with the gang of eight commies in 2013.
I keep watching the NEW AND IMPROVED Rubio kicking butt and taking names 🙂
Might be Trump’s most effective Cabinet pick [followed closely by Bessent and Hegseth]
I agree, and I’d like the new and improved version to stay that way.
I can vote for the new version, but not the old version.
I think Frank Zappa may have nailed it with his quote – “The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move all the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
The old wizard behind the curtain routine.
Every once in a while I get a speck of reality not the brainwashed thinking we all do. It doesn’t stay in my thoughts long before it’s washed away. But, it does give me hope that we can wake up.
This I know, most do not want it in their thoughts. I believe it comes directly from admitting to oneself that you are responsible, for everything. The farther your understanding engulfs “everything” is within your responsibility your mind can see.
We are created in Gods image, his expanse is limitless.
I believe Sundance said yesterday that JD’s mentor with Palantir already has immunity due to his government contracts. If so, will they not support the regulators? I mean, if you have immunity and your competition doesn’t that seems to be a leg up. This will be interesting to see how things line up. At the end of the day, nothing good ever comes from getting government (especially congress) involved in regulating things. I suspect the college sports world will find this out with the legislation regulating NIL. Will the false flag be an actual event or an operation Reddit similar to Ukraine?
nor can nothing good can ever come out of trillion dollar monopolies funded by Blackrock and Swiss banks.
If you have immunity, you don’t want to see your competitors get anything that would help them wriggle out of a mess. You want to see them crushed.
Could be the reason the same company that was shutout of government contracts a year ago due to their over-reach with their US military contracts at the time, are on the negative side of things now. (anthropic)
You mean like “safe and effective” gene altering injections?
easier to apologize (or stall out lawsuits) than ask for permission
It’s fascinating how many ‘the sky is falling!!’ articles and interviews have sprung up in the past 2 or 3 weeks.
Is there a real,
potentially critical problem with AI?
Yes, there may be.
All the hoo-hah the past weeks??
That ain’t it.
The hoo-hah is their own, created to scare us into thier regulatory chains.
That can be true at the same time AI is being harnessed for mass surveillance, IP theft, information control and mass propaganda.
I can imagine that defending against a “bad” AI is going to take another AI as such with the ways that it operates in cyberspace.
There’s something of a parallel with firearms. I subscribe to the philosophy that an armed society is a polite society.
Yes but in this case, we the people have no say in the matter. And no one really gives a damn about us. What I see shaping up is BigTech control via regulations .vs. BigTech control via monopolies.
Neither of those can exist without big government first.
Well both sides have access to trillions in capital yet neither has an ROI to meet. No one asks where that kind of “capital” comes from.
True.
May as well ask where all money ultimately comes from. In this case, credit and fiat.
Following that trail down the rabbit hole is a whole other level.
…..and evil
But, God.
The “I complied with government regulations, so my product couldn’t be dangerous or defective” defense has been used for decades in products liability cases, and not always successfully.
The debate has been whether regulations established a floor or a ceiling for safety precautions. The AI developers want a ceiling – nothing required of them but compliance with government regs.
We let BigHospital, BigPharma and Big Insurance write and enforce our healthcare regulations.
What reason have we given BigTech to not think that we’d fall for again this time?
We see a picture of it with Big Pharma. Very few companies , an oligopoly. Little companies start up to find drugs and if the drug is successful, the little company is bought out. It is a failure. The system chases waste and injury not health.
Big Education has turned learning into learing or more commonly called indoctrination.
We Do Not need Big anything especially Big Government.
Pa is a DBA of a specific expertise.
I have already shared my opinion of the “Cloud” and it’s indirect scraping of an entire company’s intellectual property and financials, maybe while parking it safely.
I see that this AI stuff is of the same business model. I prefer to call it the “AI scrape”. SCRAPING (stealing) of every drop of a company’s intellectual and financial property. And it’s not storing it but actually using it actively in a million other ways and maybe not in a company’s best interest.
Maybe a competitor can use it against them, I don’t know all the ways this goes sideways but the government has absolutely no business interfering in this fight and picking winners and losers. While those money pigs and their friends get rich.
My interest lies in WHO can get their hands on the whole f-ing thing and then use it for evil ends and political ideology.
So yes, see you in court to fight for property rights, liberty and freedom.
UP HOLD THE CONSTITUTION. No matter what argument you hear, it still pertains timeless to the new technology. Just not to the rogue government not applying it’s principals and new Communism (Democrats) torturing it’s interpretation.
The “ism” of our Founding was for government to protect intellectual property and to ensure capital was available to all on fair terms. Neither remotely exist anymore.
exactly.
The fascinating part is that both bets are built on LIES and Stupidity of the Big Tech Captains.
LIES = Nothing was stolen, as access was granted via stupid contracting practices (if anything was in fact accessed by the AI Labs) and utter incompetent oversight (Legal and Technical) by the companies contracting the AI Labs.
Stupidity = Lax security if something was in fact “stolen”.
LIES = Gaslighting doomsday reporting and assigning “human behavior attributes” to inanimate Software.
Hedge your bets, in any case, as one event will beget the other.
The false flag will result in legislation.
The legislation will result in a retaliatory false flag.
As with China Inc. … every time the High Tech Crowd does something stupid or makes a bad deal … “it was stolen by China Inc.”
Ignore the off-set agreements and Export Licensing they willingly entered into for short term gain.
Kind of interesting when talking about the Business Prowess of Elon Musk vs that of his Counterpart Captains of Finance and Tech Industry … have yet to hear him whine about stolen stuff … hmmmm … St Elon has been doing business with China Inc. since 2009 when he took US TARP and DOE money to China Inc. to start his development efforts.
False flag is criminal. Response – Prosecute.
I like how you explained the lies and stupidity. I think the ‘injured’ parties should fight it out in courts.
I bet we’ll really start to hear the pigs start squealing now
My money is on the lawsuits in the coming weeks, perhaps reaching class action status. Tort lawyers are on standby.
I’m betting whatever Nancy Pelosi buys.
IMO: The AI scare is just another tactic/tool to manipulate the midterms. Any sane person will agree that AI, being a powerful new technology, needs to have guardrail safety. There has to be guards against theft of intellectual property for the enrichment and power grab of the oligarchs, alongside protection of personal data.
Bannon has been railing against AI for the last couple of years. Technology is a double edged sword. I remember when people thought computers were dangerous and would totally replace workers and humanity. Now they are part of everyday life and they are becoming smaller and smaller. There are always trade offs that have to be ethically managed.
I do believe in caution at this point in time.
The technocrats and scientists lost me a long time ago. Safe and Effective just reaffirmed the reasons.
All Government should be much smaller.
Government needs to be removed from Healthcare and Education. Most of the other Departments need to be closed.
“Or will the larger population see through the scheme and align with liberty, freedom and the free-market approach”. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the American public to see through the BS. Just look at how many voted for el-sayed, mamdummy, angela nixon, kiros, and the list goes on and on. Those people who vote for these idiots remind me of the Aerosmith album title “Toys in the Attic”. They definitely have no brains up there. This would have never happened 10 or more years ago. Something is wrong with the voters in this country.
I see a third option.
Let the lawsuits begin and make the doomers regulate themselves. If they are so worried about the end of humanity then they better get real good at designing AI’s that can’t be used nefariously. They should also develop defensive AI’s that seek out and destroy any wild child AI that attempts to do harm. It’s in their interest because their product and reputation is at risk.
Why would developers be afraid of users suing them? Is their product not good?
“You can’t learn to swim if you don’t get wet.” That is true but as more and more people learn to swim, there will be those who drown. There is no avoiding misuse or coordinated attacks by AI on companies, individuals, nations, and developers themselves. I think we need to discuss the possibilities of death and destruction in the same context as Nuclear weapons getting into the hands of those who hate us. The corporations should be urged to be transparent and work with everyone to come up with the guardrails like any other open source technology.
We’ve so far prevented even crude dirty bombs from being used so let’s make sure no “dirty” AI gets loose. Just like unsafe planes, trains, and automobiles, there will be failures. We can’t 100% prevent it. Nothing is perfect.
Our government should only regulate with a requirement of a clear identification of any AI product, and a requirement that the identification stay with the content or product. It must also require that anyone who uses or forwards the content or product keep the original identification and also clearly identify if there are any changes from the original. This is consumer protection, good for the developers if they have a good product, and good for us because we have transparency.
When I was a contractor in telecom and then IT, as an independent I had to self insure in case I messed up something or was held liable by the client.
Certainly they are covered for problems.
Don’t trust Rubio. Once a RINO always a RINO!
Nonsense!
Rubio has been OUTSTANDING here in Trump’s second term.
But I’m sure that YOU have actual FACTS to back up your claim?
Right???
Oh how I wish Trump had started a new political party instead of ‘using’ the rotten stinking Republican Party as the vehical for his ride to the White House.
Now it’s too late for woulda, coulda, shoulda, and we are stuck with legislative “leaders” like Thune and Johnson, seriously flawed and as shallow as Lucy holding the football for John Roberts to pretend to kick a field goal.
The answer to Sundance’s question is “it doesn’t matter” because the lawsuits will end up at the Supreme Court and the False Flags are already flying.
Not regulation…
It isn’t “Silicon Valley”…as the valley is split between two sides. It’s the CoL infused group for and the rest against…
Also…
This is Trust & Safety 2.0.
The last time we had media-generated panics like this (with Russiagate and Covid), social media companies created “trust & safety” teams to censor conservative and dissident voices. Those hires worked with left-wing NGOs like the SPLC to police public discourse and do an end-run around the First Amendment. It almost worked, until Elon bought Twitter and exposed the whole game in the Twitter Files.
This time the plan is to embed unfireable EA minders inside every AI company as the new trust-and-safety layer. The censorship and control will be far more comprehensive, but also more subtle. Anytime they don’t get what they want, this unaccountable NGO layer (with the veneer of “trust the experts” pseudoscience) will shriek to the press that the AI company is risking humanity, and they will be celebrated as “whistleblowers.”
These groups haven’t earned our trust, and their agenda is not our safety.
https://aievaluatorforum.org/initiatives/embedded-evaluation-letter
Jensen Huang: “Safety is paramount. In a lot of ways, it’s job one. However, safety is an engineering problem… If we’re not confident about the safety of the products — like all companies, like you and I, all the companies here — if you build a product or a service and you’re not confident in its functionality, capability, or safety, then don’t release it.
That’s a very obvious thing to do. You pace yourself until you are confident you’re releasing something that the market would appreciate. The market forces are already there. We don’t need any new laws. We don’t need new regulations.”

ps. Don’t forget that NVidia acquired Hugging Face, giving them considerable potential sway as “the dealer”. If you say your concerned that your company’s model isn’t safe – it isn’t inserted into the deck…
Flipped a coin and would say the event would come first. I personally don’t think the potential plaintiffs have the stones to develop & bring what they need (yet) to the litigation table. I’ve been underwhelmed by the public’s ability to generate & sustain outrage at some leviathan that is exempt from product liability. I see this going the same way, even though “AI” is a created product.
Why do these tech experts not understand you can disconnect the battery from the computer?
Okay, now I understand why the hair on fire propaganda that big tech is selling. History tells us that if regulation is what the industry wants then regulation/liability immunity is what they get. Amirite Big Pharma? This isn’t a left/right issue this is a “who is in office” when donations are paid. The right can be paid off and the left loves regulation.
I’m sure any lawfare judges will have been told to slow walk any lawsuits until regulation can be pushed thru. Then lawsuits won’t have standing.
See Cohen CNN peddeling false flag AI nuclear genie fake information.
JMO.
The globalists are watching their world crumble.
Yup, it is becoming more evident every day, Canada and China are King Charles’ surrogates in his contemporary, sneak attack on President Trump and the USA.
President Trump has known this since before 2024 and is taking the necessary actions to protect American’s and America, aka the tariffs and exposing Canada’s lack of NATO support.
He also knows that the “5-eyes in UK” were a large part of the democrat / RINO’s 2021 coup d’état against our Constitutional Republic, our Constitution and also our President Trump.
King Charles is delusional ……. and could be dangerous?
He has taken very hard the loss of his Big New Green Scam when President Trump was elected in 2024 ….. and has the ear of the treasonous American clown Al Gore to try to use the criminal remains of the obama / biden traitors to form a coordinated attack from within the walls of the USA.
President Trump has already warned that the enemies within the walls are extremely dangerous ….. if not the most dangerous to the USA.
Cleaning up the election fraud, especially in the blue states, is now a national security top priority.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Lawsuits have the best chance of success, but as a lesser of two evils. Who’s to say though that IP theft is the only theory upon which to base lawfare? Granted IP’s an obvious track, but certainly not the only track. Look at how long Big Tobacco successfully defended itself before a novel legal theory brought about negotiated settlements in the late 90s. Careful what you wish for Frontier people!
As for a false flag, I think it will fail miserably if attempted. It will be called “Digital Covid” (the term is already in widespread use) and parallels to Fauci et.al. will be easily drawn. Memes will flood the zone. Try it before the election – and watch the GOP take home the bacon.
IF you’d like some real-deal information about a.i. without the political furor, listen to Jay Valentine describe what’s happening in layman’s terms. Bureaucrats, politicians and oligarchs are running a sho’nuff hustle. JV’s talk starts at 16:40
So is this when we dump Palantir stock?
Palantir already has govt protection. If anything, they -as a sideline player already secured- might benefit from this ongoing fiasco.
My bets on leftists government winning this one.
We’ve lost so much liberty because of the “safety” of everyone.
Americans have become too stupid.
Looks like we just “almost” had a false flag event:
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ww3-near-miss-ai-hallucinated-nuclear-weapons-components-aboard-chinese-vessel-bound
I’ve had enough of “liability protection” especially after the malicious pharma scam.. if they want liability protection they need to do a better job of controlling what the are doing and quit laying their haphazard projects on the taxpayer..
Sundance
Even if there is an “AI Event” they are at law liable, right now, for avoiding paying royalties on Intellectual Property in an organized grand theft conspiracy involving $Trillions.
And they know that.
I would think every $ ‘invested’ in AI companies is at risk of being forfeited to pay the stolen royalties.
If the “AI Industry” want government regulation then sure, “All Your Profits Belong To The Legal Citizens of America” Law.
WSJ reports: “Gemini Hacked Three
Companies in First Known Breakout by Google’s AI
The episode resembled similar hacks by other Al models, but Google said it didn’t consider it an instance of model misalignment.”

“They’re trying to manufacture a crisis…ultimately, they want to protect their duopoly”.
Some months ago a long established book shop in Galway City Ireland received a peculiar enquiry from “an agency”.
It was for virtually it’s entire stock of books associated with every aspect of local and national history,politics and religion.
That amounted to over 5000 books – almost it’s entire stock.
Smelling a rat, the independent owners refused to pursue the matter.
Stories of millions of priceless books being bought, read and shredded are common in Europe.
I’m voting for the A.I. false flag, something like emptying bank accounts or locking people out, because that would put the fear of Satan into everyone and they would suddenly want protections. Hopefully that won’t happen. It’s always good to have cash on hand in any event.
Just sayin’. The Powers That Be seem to have an affinity for scaring everyone to death. That just goes to show you they are possessed by the Evil overlord of this world.
The false flag will be first to provide the justification for the legal protection that the purchased politicians will provide for the AI companies from the coming lawsuits.
