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/

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
isnt it already deregulated asf/
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
GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.
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.
Dumbest administration in history.
Enabled by the dumbest voter base in history
And who was in charge of among sure that voter base was educated?
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?
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?
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
cool. cool. cool...
soooo.....when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?
#release the list
Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.
I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
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.
If "people" = the bro-ligarchs, then sure
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.
And then Skynet became aware and impeached Trump
How very Reagan of them
We will all lose our jobs.
No surprise, deregulation is their solution to everything.
they're gonna make it illegal to not use chatbots huh
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
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.
Enshittification of America.

Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.
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?

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.

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.
But bro we just need a bigger training set bro, just more bit of data and it'll become real intelligence.

Deregulation literally kills people, plus it gave us the ‘08 crisis which we’ve never fully recovered from

how can you deregulate something we have not started to regulate?
Its about the regulation of power plants, its nothing to do with AI.
The first item in the document basically says that if existing regulations stand in the way of AI supremacy, they must go. Boil the oceans.

What do we "win"?
Even more AI slop.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
They use religion to "prove" they are right.
They use A.I. to "prove" they are smart.
They use Bitcoin to "prove" they are rich.
They embrace the invisible so you have nothing to complain about.
