" He ended with analogizing Marquis de Lafayette's sword to AI weapons"
He was equivocating the importance of both in their respective eras. But, I agree with you. It's not a very good analogy.
" He hilariously criticized using AI's use curtail the spread of disinformation by our allies after crying for it to be unfettered, and then turned around and said we can't let authoritarians misuse it. All the while saying that Europe (Germany) had no right to their own laws and autonomy when it comes to dealing with its own history. He ridiculously called out two examples of what exactly I am not sure. It was silly. It wasn't logical. It was an emotional ploy."
Disinformation/misinformation is a vague catch- all to describe wrongthink that justifies censorship.
" Then there was his remark about how we, the United States, are going to educate our children, through our schools, to be the best and brightest in the world on this technology. You know, while we do away with DOE and focus on indoctrination and non-value stupid culture war nonsense"
the DO Ed was created by Congress. It can't be eliminated without new legislation and that should happen. It can be reorganized and restructured and absent legislation it absolutely should. The culture war nonsense came from the left - transing confused kids, males competing in girl's sports and having unfetter3d access to girl's private spaces, DEI where white kids are taught to be ashamed of themselves due to their skin color (Asians too) and black and brown kids are taught to resent white kinds as their oppressors, policing language, etc.
" Arrogant, demanding compliance, contradictory, hypocritical, and belittling anyone that won't agree with the trump policy."
It wasn't a demand it was an appeal, an attempt to persuade. That's how it came across to me.
