I agree. This is scary. Carlson represents a rival wing of capital to that of Trump. Their concern over the latest threats lends credence to the talk about nuclear weapon use.

That's what I'm thinking. Carlson is the financial, industrial, old media capital faction which is at odds with the techno-capital faction with the "move fast and break things" mantra and the virtualization-poisoned brain which I think might be even more important toxic than financial abstractions.

I can absolutely see the tech bros pushing for nukes under the mentality that they can fix it with a patch in the next update and what's a bunch of NPCs worth anyway when they don't even produce SaaS let alone their own a.i. models.
