We are inside the OODA loop. Outrage won’t fix this, and they know it. Congress can investigate Musk or Trump or Rubio or Hegseth all day long, but even getting that setup will take days or weeks. It will require staff frantically requesting documents and comms that won’t be provided. By the time any such hearing produces its very first soundbite, there will be a half dozen new outrages. Will those be investigated? There aren’t enough staffers in the world to run down all the egregious violations. OODA loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — the attention cycle employed by fighter pilots, described by Col. John Boyd. Fighter pilots have a tight, fast OODA loop that takes just a few seconds. Congress runs at about 5-7 days at absolute minimum. The way the adversary (Putin, Musk, Trump) advances in this scenario is to act faster than the OODA loop, which isn’t all that hard. But acceleration shows an intent to escape circumstances and consequence. To beat this kind of adversary you need to shut down their ability to act inside the OODA loop and also anticipate their next moves. Washington isn’t cut out for this, especially going into the languid nothing-gets-done election and holiday season. So, if we want to interrupt this collapse, we need to select for moves that produce rapid outcomes, even if imperfect. That suggests court actions (TRO’s etc) vs slow Congressional inquiries. Or both in parallel. But don’t fantasize this is going to get fixed quickly without a lot of other simultaneous attacks. They are inside the OODA loop and they know it.

And I’m really not talking about “overturning the outcome” here. Suspending and dispensing with the constitution is the simpler and more appealing pathway.

The thing to watch for now is de facto actions that are extra-institutional and post-political. To the degree such actions overtake institutional processes within our systems, we have a literal emergency that requires forceful response.

This is correct, which again suggests they don’t care about winning any longer, and intend to simply steamroll over the outcome. It was much better when they thought it would be close.

Trump is over. Russia has turned on him since he failed to deliver on promises they perceive he made a year ago in Anchorage, and Iran was the nail in the coffin. Antiwar left/right coalition is forming; Massie/Tucker are Russia’s lead dogs against Trump now. This is why Massie attacks Trump and has tried to impeach Hegseth. Rest of conservative sphere is reacting to these tectonic forces.

Every current debate around AI resolves to one core question: who will be the bagholder for this bubble? VC’s, the public, or the government?

Notice that the more big AI companies face liability for their actions and their products, the more they invoke “the singularity” as an excuse for their negligence. Don’t allow them to elide liability with silly sci-fi hand-waving.
