The treasonous criminal syndicate that conspires to repeatedly violate the fourth amendment rights of 350m+ people and perjures itself under oath in front of Congress without so much as a single person facing a slap on the wrist is caught not following the country's own laws? Color me shocked.

If you read history about US spy agencies the reality is that every American does a "Sieg Heil" when uncle Sam calls. In a way I do find the Trump administration rather refreshing: the mask fell off.

That is expected. What is not expected is us knowing about it. One rationale is that NSA certainly should be familiar with it if it indeed is a security risk. Nothing to see here.

I find that confidence quite unsettling considering everything we know about just the government in general, not even to mention what Snowden released, and I know he did not release everything.

Are you at all familiar with what Snowden released? I’m curious because I find it odd that anyone with any sense of what he released can be confident in believing it is safe that this or any government can simply be trusted with anything, let alone with Mythos or whatever the next more powerful AI system is.

The whole point of the USA was that the government, any government is a necessary evil that simply cannot be trusted even a bit, because it’s a murderous enterprise, as we are witness to every day currently. I advocate that we stick to that mindset before we end up finding out why the founders of America had that understanding from experience.

It’s a pretty bog standard observation. Not deep, not interesting; just true. A 14 year old might indeed accurately observe this, or a 54 year old.

Are they on a blacklist or there was a random tweet from the president saying they are? Because sanctions and tariffs change day to day...

Haven't you heard? Under the new form of government in the US, random tweets from the President ARE government policy, superseding laws and any act of Congress. The Supreme Court has blessed this new form of government, declaring that the President is immune to all laws, but retaining for themselves the right to reverse any tweet on the "shadow docket".

You're obviously trolling. Those are called "truths", and you know it!

This is not surprising. Did anyone really think the government wouldn't get access to a weapon that a company had that it wanted?

You're misunderstanding. The government is the one that said it didn't want/couldn't use this "weapon."

This is not surprising. Did anyone really think the government wouldn't lie?

... as it has been designated as a supply chain risk.
