Yeah the anti AI crew (who I agree with on a ton) need to realize that much of this stuff is out in the wild and can be run on consumer level hardware so while we should focus on how large companies use it with regulations, some (most?) of the work will have to be on the societal norms front

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Security clearance data sits at the center of trust and readiness. When it’s inaccurate, the effects show up fast: delays for people, uncertainty for teams, and risk to mission execution. I see this as a leadership responsibility that requires ownership, discipline, and follow-through.
