  • As an individual data point an AI response is essentially worthless. What I was gauging was the change in response over time. LLMs are statistical engines with creators who put large thumbs on the scales of the statistics. By seeing the change over time, you see what they are weighting, as well as what overcomes the weighting.



  • Integration of corporations into government is by definition fascism. At least according to Mussolini,

    Communism would be the nationalization of industries into the government, which transfers their ownership to the state.

    The key difference is that under Fascism, corporations are still autonomous in that they can control their own policies, and also make those policies law. Under communism industrial units are told what they can do by the state, because the state decides the law.

    It’s akin to an autocratic oligarchy vs monarchy comparison, except without the birth right succession. And technically a real communist nation would have a state controlled by extremely democratic systems, though in the real world the democratic portion of communist societies have all been a show for the people under the rule of a strong man autocrat.
