Judgement Day has already happened, I see it as the day when we created AI tools that could create photorealistic images based on a simple text prompt, it happened when we created AI tools that could not only talk like a human, but a very specific human, and fake it’s voice.

Judgement Day was never about a conflict between man and machine, it is about sowing distrust and breaking up friends and family, the tools to call your mom or dad and use your own voice to scam them exists now, the tools to send your mom and dad any kind of photo of you for verification exists today.

Judgement has allready been passed down, another agency messing about with AI now is not the catalyst.

Exactly, the NSA has shown that it has very few rules it will not break. So why would this specific rule be one of the very few stopping the agency?

If the NSA is just days away from taking over the internet, then I wonder what is holding them back from doing it now…
