Overall this article is completely correct and I agree with every point of it and have tried to make these arguments about the various ZKP proposers that I have encountered. But I almost gave up early because he can't resist the urge to take a dig: > For politicians to make good policy, they don't need to be technical experts: they need to have solid, independent, well-resourced expert agencies. Those would be the very agencies that Trump and Musk have DOGEd into oblivion ... And then in the next paragraph blithely engages in some Gell-Mann amnesia > But when it comes to tech policy, politicians get it all so goddamned wrong Expert agencies formulating clean water policies are emphatically not the reason that we have potable water. Experts in actually doing the work of producing clean water are the ones that push the standards upstream. It's a subtle but important difference. Look, it's not 2018 anymore, we survived a round of Trump and we'll survive this one and the world will not end and some things will get better and some things will get worse, but trying to tie everything back to how Trump has ruined everything is going to make your views look worse and worse as they age.
