Senator claims public funds fuel an AI safety 'ecosystem'; called AI-generated slop

Senator Eric Schmitt cites public grant records claiming federal funding flows to METR, Redwood, FAR AI, Longview, Tarbell, and RAND projects — "different logos, same ecosystem" of AI-risk research, evaluations and journalist training. @Afinetheorem fires back that both the image and text look like Claude-generated populist slop, urging the senator to do his job instead of farming outrage.
