i don’t think i’ll ever get over how the morning after the movie Escape From Alcatraz played on television in south florida, donald trump proposed bringing back alcatraz as a prison. just unreal levels of insanity that this is how the president comes up with policy
Biden’s EO about AI was b/c he grew alarmed watching MI:7. Reagan and War Games is another famous example. Presidents watching movies to inspire policy has been a thing. The insane part is what he’s proposing + how he’s disseminating it vs predecessors asking aides to follow up on what they saw.
