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/

AI must be free of all regulation except mine!
isnt it already deregulated asf/
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
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
Better than being turned into paperclips I guess.
Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
Enshittification of America.

Meanwhile AI is in such a state that if a Nazi sneezes in its general direction it becomes Mecha-Hitler
You mean the Nazi who owns it and was messing with its settings for months before it did that? That same Nazi?
And Mecha-Hitler keeps pumping out re-writes of liberal news articles and history textbooks, which means it is STILL too woke for their tastes.
The explanation I saw for this is that fascist rhetoric changes every 5 minutes so AI just can't keep up with it.
Epstein is a great example. Literally months ago, you had the hogs all hooting over "Lock Hillary Up!" wrt to Bondi's teasing of a secret list of criminals and crooks. Now we're supposed to pretend Jeffery and his Lolita Express flights are all Fake News?
Reminds me of the first few days after the J6 riots, as AM Radio talking heads scrambled to figure out whether they were Based MAGA Champions or Fifth Columnist Antifa Infiltrators trying to make Trump look bad.

Deregulation just for AI companies. Its still theft if a individual does it.
They're deregulating AI but constraining the production of cheap green energy.
A bit like saying you're going to grow the NFL by ditching all the penalty rules, then mandating "Whites Only" teams in public high schools.
The investments that grow the economy are being strangled while the investments that drastically increase the risk of operation are being unleashed.

Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.
Deregulation literally kills people, plus it gave us the ‘08 crisis which we’ve never fully recovered from

What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We're just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.
Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.
they removed all stem research, so no more of that.

I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
At this point I just have zero hope for the future, riding this wave straight to hell.

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.
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?
The AI race is about automating fascism for plausible deniability.
GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.
We will all lose our jobs.
I think I'm with Warren G and Nate Dogg on this one, you need to regulate.
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
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.
No surprise, deregulation is their solution to everything.
*Whew* I was just starting to feel anxious that this administration was grossly incompetent and painfully ignorant, but this new approach to *checks notes* . . . letting AI companies steal data so that “we” “win” the “AI race” has really turned that around
