Dean Ball: 'It will not be AI in government. It's going to be AI as governments'
fkasummer · x · 2026-11-12
A quoted excerpt features Dean Ball, now a fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, musing that AI might replace the Supreme Court and then the US government itself. He calls AI a "giant acid vat" dissolving society's mediating institutions, arguing future institutions will be machinic: "It will not be AI in government. It's going to be AI as governments." The poster endorses the take while noting other forms of RSI opposition are poorly parameterized and over-scoped.
