8 64The Trump administration has reportedly asked OpenAI to stagger the release of GPT-5.6 over security concerns. The model will initially be offered to a small group of partners, with the government "approving access customer by customer during this preview period," reports The Information. The request came from conversations with the Office of the National Cyber Director and the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the report said.

Remember the days when Republicans said the government shouldn't be picking winners and losers? Maybe that's only when Democrats are in charge ...

I think Obama was one of our better presidents, but the government loaning Solyndra $535 was WRONG.
Just as a reality check, the loan to Solyndra was just one loan out of hundreds in the Department of Energy loan program, representing 1.6% of the total loans under that program. Despite a few companies that received loans having going bankrupt, overall the loan program made back the money loaned out with interest. The program did not lose money.
Since the program was intended to kick-start development of technologies that that were too risky to get loans from banks, the fact that the majority of the loans were paid back with interest indicates to me that the businesses chosen weren't risky enough.

Republicans lost two presidential elections, 2008 & 2012, due to running conservative candidates. So they gave up and became a further-left party. Now Obama looks like a relative conservative .. but Clinton & Harris look conservative _too_.
Voters are insisting on left-wing presidents, with the exception of Biden because the initial leftist shock of Trump pt1 was too much to absorb.
The current GOP is not left. They're extreme right at the moment - fascist-adjacent is not "minimal state". There's nothing conservative left, it's been consumed by right wing populism with a mix of fascism The current administration. It's corruption, populism, fascim, racism, disdain for knowledge, and plain stupidity in an ugly mix.

I had assumed government would eventually start gatekeeping LLMs, but I had assumed there was at least a decade or more before we crossed that line.
We really are living in the future that the best scifi spent 100 years trying to warn us off of.
