AI IS THE NEW FBI. Here's how the new administration could use a Twitter Files-like strategy to defang the deep state.
1. From Revelation to Reform
Recall: when @elonmusk acquired Twitter, one of his first acts was to simply reveal every "conspiracy theory" to actually be conspiracy reality. Shocking emails showed Twitter really had colluded with the state to secretly censor citizens. Of course, political dissidents long suspected this to be true...but now they had proof. These revelations delegitimized the old regime, and built the case for radical reform of Twitter. That's the key idea: revelation justified reform. All we need to do is extend this tactic, with some modification, to the entire federal bureaucracy.
2. From FBI to AI
The Twitter Files were relatively easy to pull off because Twitter as a company was less than twenty years old, and most of its internal communications were still on a single system. But the federal government isn't like that. It's much older, much bigger, and much more complex. The files of even one agency go all the way back to COBOL and file cabinets. And few journalists could make sense of such a mess within a short timeframe. However, we now have AI. So, suppose we tackled the agencies in order.
