What can anyone do at kind of the basic corporate employee level or just a member of the public who's using an AI tool as part of an email suite or something like that? Should they be doing anything? Is there anything they can do?

I mean, the answer is always yes.

I think this is where the optimist in me comes out.

I think that as cheesy as it sounds, and maybe it's not just cheesy, it's naive, but I don't think so.

I do genuinely believe in the, a wave is just a collection of single droplets of water.

If you are in a company and something feels wrong, it is risky, and I'm not going to pretend it's not risky.

But even just communicating that to one other person is a huge step in saying, "I noticed something.

Can you just talk a bit about the project you're working on and maybe explain to our listeners how the executive branch is currently or has been using AI in recent years?

quit my job.

So I just wanted to open the floor to that part.

No, I'm so glad you did.

And I am going to try to be coherent and organized and responding.

But it's one of those areas where there's just so many different ways to approach that line of logic.

And it kind of depends on your priors.

So I don't think that I've really hidden the ball on my views of the immigration enforcement system.

I think that you can say, I believe that we should have stringent immigration enforcement, but the way it's being carried out today is unacceptable under various legal principles, both in technical legality, but also in like fundamental principles about how we want the law to operate in the world.

Yeah, so if you could lay out some of those interventions.

Um, could you talk a bit about that? 'Cause that, that really kind of, you know, jumped off the page at me.

On one hand, it is true that we have technologies entering the space that are doing things that the government couldn't do before.

On the other hand, and this should be a surprise to nobody and not considered at all a controversial statement, the private sector oversells.

That's part of a business model, especially in the tech world where often, like, your minimum viable product just becomes your product because it is the thing that somebody will pay for, right? And especially in the government contracting context, the government, once it invests in a technology system, becomes dependent on it because it builds the rest of its institutions around that system.

And so then they become legacy systems that just kind of get auto-renewed over time because it would be very onerous, cost-prohibitive even, to swap it out for another alternative.

And the reason all this is relevant is it takes away more incentive from the private sector to continue to deliver the highest quality, most cutting edge products.

If you know that you kind of have somewhat inelastic demand from your main customer, the logic just doesn't support going above and beyond as the A+ student, and this was seen in the cybersecurity context.

Yeah, so if you could lay out some of those, uh, interventions.
