“It's not a tech issue. It's a political issue.”
It kinda is a tech issue if the output is skewed because nefarious parties are feeding the model shit.
If they control the tech and what’s being fed into it then it makes the process rife for manipulation.
You wonder though, with the big players, whether they can lobby / pay off trump in some way to not be affected? I mean look at how the China tariffs changed overnight to not include mobile phones etc. Can’t have the majority of Apple’s production being subject to tariffs (they sure can’t make them in the US for the same cost)!
