If this were any other President, the media would be running nonstop profiles of political courage and leadership
Whether you support the Iran war or are a proponent of AI, once upon a time these would be considered politically courageous positions and pundits would have declared this is what leadership looks like.

We’re not living in the Terminator franchise and supposedly intelligent people should know the difference between fact and fiction
However appealing it may sound on the surface, Artificial Intelligence in particular and computers in general simply don’t work the same way they do in the movies, making any comparison completely useless.

An unknown researcher, a viral post, and demands for regulations won’t stop the race for Artificial Intelligence anymore than nuclear non-proliferation treaties prevented the spread of the atom bomb. Last week, a social media post from a purported AI researcher who recently resigned from Anthropic went viral under suspicious circumstances when he predicted the end…

Almost 125 years ago, critics of President Teddy Roosevelt described another world-changing deal in Latin America as an un-American imperialist adventure despite having no solution of their own beyond the fantasy that countries will magically become modern democracies thanks to the power of words alone.
