Trump’s new tech policy director doesn’t want you to 'trust the science' | Blaze Media

1 month ago | theblaze.com | James Poulos

American science has lost its credibility, and if it’s not swiftly restored, America will never be great again. That’s the bracing upshot of major new remarks recently delivered by Michael Kratsios, the White House’s new director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Heat death of the discourse?

There’s an undeniable feeling of the air coming out of the balloon of discourse on x.com. Some of this is natural enough. We can’t be at a fever pitch all the time, and now that the most important election of all time is over, we’ve all earned at least a breather. But there’s a deeper, more sweeping effect at work.

After the stifling and censorious technology despotism of the Biden administration, Vice President JD Vance’s fresh declaration in Paris of a golden age of American AI greatness was a huge breath of fresh air. In a tight, concise, authoritative way, Vance told world leaders the U.S. would put its shoulder behind the free, fruitful, and forceful development of AI, applied not just to cyberspace but the brick-and-mortar world in which we all (still!) live.

Stop trusting Chinese AI to tell you the meaning of life

Jan 31, 2025 | theblaze.com | James Poulos

DeepSeek, the open-source Chinese AI that’s sending Silicon Valley and Wall Street into a mid-key panic, has “feelings” about the big questions: humanity, artistry, its own identity, and the meaning of life. And for some strange reason, Americans keep soliciting them — and gawking at the results. This is not a good use of our precious time.

“Welcome to the new age,” as Imagine Dragons sings, and so here we are. It is a strange and uncanny time, as befits the long-deferred rise to power of America’s strange and special Gen X cohort.

The public outcry rises, but will anything change? The iOS, the company, or the zombie culture of irreversible iteration?
