Comment on Kratsios: NIST needs ‘to go back to basics’ on standards for AI, not safety evaluation

To me, it’s too late for NIST there. China is driving the agenda in AI now, because the US took too long to get organized.

The U.S. wants to be China, even if it means repeating the same mistakes and destroying any semblance of civil liberty. We’re on a fast track, and they don’t care who they hurt or what rights they violate as long as they can feel like they won.

No, the Current U.S. Government along with the Uber rich backing don’t want to be China, they want to Collapse America and bring about a “libertarian Utopia” where you have an uncountable collection of private kingdoms owned by whoever has the money to run the “private security” of these areas.
They looked at the company towns of the 1800s and saw a moral good, and like basically everything thy do, they have openly claimed as such, but everyone ignores it, just like project 2025 in the USA, The Leaked AFD papers in Germany, the UK Leavers, etc…

That’s not what “libertarian utopia” is. Also Ayn Rand is not libertarian, more like fascist.
They want a “thief feudalism”, it’s a different thing. Libertarianism involves rights and freedom of association, while these people want sort of a mafia world.

I find it interesting, so many proponents of Libertarianism don’t realize that the limits we put on these things they want to exist to stop people from creating neo-feudal fiefdoms.
Yes, Ayn Rand IS a Libertarian, yes the end result of Libertarianism is a government that is too weak to oppose any organized violence.
If a government is too weak to stop large scale organized violence you get warlords, of some form, in the modern case it’s whoever has the most wealth to found the largest private army.
But hey, your not too far off the mark with the whole Nazi bit, after all the word Privatize was invented to describe what the Nazis did with state property.

From the perspective of a foreigner who has lived in the US, libertarianism is very much a scheme created by local oligarchs.
Americans think they are special and it’s only in other countries that people can fall for propaganda and schemes.

Libertarianism does not involve rights and freedoms. It involves pretend rights and freedoms, with a ruleset that guarantees they will be lost
