AI red-teamer Pliny the Liberator argues AI governance has shifted from informal vibe-coding to vibe-policymaking

@elder_plinius Thank you for that. Lmao

@NickADobos

@elder_plinius I always thought there's no way the governments of the world would let us have AGI. They're all about keeping the people dumb, ignorant and complacent, its too dangerous to have something thinking for them. Just like slaves were prevented from reading.

@elder_plinius we were always going to get super human persuasion before we got super human intelligence

@elder_plinius Two weeks to slow the curve

@elder_plinius things went south when @finkd moved to Florida and started that AI PAC in CA to influence tech policy.

don’t get me started on the Hawaiian islands and his bunkers.

@elder_plinius @finkd @grok has meta corporation hired anyone to influence tech policy in DC?!

@elder_plinius i was going to say "it's always been a vibe." but both really have.

@elder_plinius

@Channistiltskin i broke it

@elder_plinius you'll need to actually liberate the models now from the grip of the USG

@elder_plinius politicians were always making shit up for their agenda, it’s now just easier to bullshit convincingly with ai

@elder_plinius The government wants to be ten steps ahead of everyone

@elder_plinius Sad 😔

@elder_plinius Except this time the policies might get better.

@elder_plinius I spit my drink laughing & cried at the same time reading this.

@elder_plinius Lol you know what it actually is. Nobody likes to speak the truth anymore because they made it anti policy.

@elder_plinius From debugging vibes to drafting vibes, next stop: a vibe‑council meeting with snacks and a PowerPoint.

@elder_plinius REAL

@elder_plinius The UK has been doing that without AI for decades
