Not surprising they are getting rid of the safety people, but getting rid of CHIPS act people seems to me to be evidence in favour of the âgenuinely idiotic, rather than Machiavellian geniusesâ theory of Trump and Musk. Presumably Trump still wants to be more powerful than China even if he moves away from hawkishness towards making friends. And Musk presumably wants Grok to be better than the best Chinese models. (In Muskâs case of course, itâs possible he actually doesnât favour getting rid of the CHIPS staff.)
