AI must be free of all regulation except mine!
And then Trump releases an EO saying that AI systems can’t be “woke” and must toe the party line on all things. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/preventing-woke-ai-in-the-federal-government/
At this point I just have zero hope for the future, riding this wave straight to hell.
Hell is too kind and polite for the timeline we live in. We’ll probably wash up in superhell or something.
GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.
Gee, who could have seen this coming?
May 12th, 2025: The White House Strategy to Profit from AI Deregulation & the Consequences for Civil Liberties & Human Rights
Dumbest administration in history.
Enabled by the dumbest voter base in history
So what you’re saying is only the right kind of people should be allowed to vote?
I do think though that there should be some sort of basic test to prove that you actually understand the various policies an administration is pushing, not at a deep level but just the most basic surface level that you could get from a 10-minute Google search or by watching a single video. Just prove that you actually know what you’re voting for because otherwise why even vote?
No, what you are doing is jumping to conclusions.
And who was in charge of among sure that voter base was educated?
isnt it already deregulated asf/
Wait they aren’t going to regulate it? Didn’t he just sign some other shit saying it can’t be woke? Which is it?
It can be censored for not giving sufficiently MAGAfied answers or acknowledging the existence of things fascists want memory-holed.
It can’t be sued for devouring, assimilating and plagiarizing all copyrighted media ever created.
Two very different sorts of regulation.
Well you’d have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don’t like that sort of thing.
Basically it’s just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn’t enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.
I was trying to read the EO last night and unless I’m fucked up I thought the EO pertained to just stuff the government has anything to do with? AI they would fund or aquire etc please correct me if I’m wrong I got lost in the sauce last night
I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
cool. cool. cool…
soooo…when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?
#release the list
I’m sure Skynet will reward their choice with a quick death.
its less hyper intelligent machine overlord exterminating humanity, and more chatbots that cannot run a lemonade stand being tasked with managing the economy, freaking out and filling their digital diapers, and deleting everyone’s social security numbers
The race to develop uncontrollable superintelligent processes for which the goal of maintaining Earth’s biosphere is a competitive disadvantage? No humans win this race.
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
Enshittification of America.
Its just a proposal to remove restrictions on the building of fossil fueled power plants, plus a bit of AI generated slop about winning the AI race.
And profitably shitty.
It’s unlikely any of this will ever be profitable, the only one making profit from this right now is NVIDIA. Everyone else’s costs dwarf revenue, even just operational costs, not even counting capital expenditure to set this stuff up. None of these companies have a path to profitability, and most of the little revenue is coming from services burning investor money built upon other services that are also burning investor money, or temporary shenanigans like Microsoft trading OpenAI free compute time at their data centers in exchange for IP, or coreweave using their GPUs as collateral against loans to buy more GPUs that get collateralized in turn.
At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.
thats why they are trying to cram AI into whatever services they have, google on pixels, micrsoft on its various services,etc, i think they are just trying to stem bleeding by cramming it in to everything they can.
Which is an absurd thing to do! Getting it in front of more people just increases their costs by creating more load on their data centers. At best it juices investor confidence by pushing up user numbers. It’s not converting people to payed subscriptions at any significant rate, and even then people paying the subscriptions are losing them money because they’re creating way more load than their subscriptions pay for.
The only “wins” for this current US regime are negative records: most cruel, most degenerate, most stupid, most racist, and so on. And the “grand prize” for these wins will be war (civil or conventional) plus a spot in history among the worst people ever to destabilize and rule a country.
If “people” = the bro-ligarchs, then sure
