“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote.

Trump claimed those who are pleading for a slowdown of AI advancement are part of “a SICK conspiracy” against U.S. interests, benefiting China. He then issued a warning to anyone who backed regulation of the technology.

“Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!” Trump said.

Because only a smart president would be insecure enough to put in paranthesis that they have a "High IQ!"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you think it's legal to call yourself high IQ if you're not?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

When you're rich, they let you do it

The cure for artificial intelligence is 100% organic stupidity.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fresh, local, analog. Stupidity like you used to think you knew it.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Fresh, fecal, and a log. Stinks so bad. The air? You can chew it.

But he’ll be dead in 5 years and we’ll be stuck with all his failures

[–] SparroHawc@piefed.world 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We're stuck with all his failures now.

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All his failures... for now. There will be many more!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The failures will continue until, um... until... hmmm. I'll have to get back to you on that.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Until they collapse into a singularity and consume reality.

"6-Time Bankrupted Felon Rapist Claims Only He Can Fix It"

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Trump is to guardrails as a sieve is to buckets

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

To quote Grampa Simpson "Oh no, we're all doomed!"

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Funny how the guy that is obsessed with using AI to manufacture a false reality where he is buff and popular and to tell himself hes a genius, says we dont need limits on AI.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

These people have no intention of ever leaving power. Election fuckery is setting up for a hundred year Republican regime. When Baron von Shitzenpantz croaks, Moron Junior will rule us.

Remember the Tesla infomercial at the white house?

"everything is computer"

Trump is a guardrail like McDonald's is a hospital

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Trump is a pedo like a pedo is a pedo.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago

Mr president, my Ai search bot sometimes gets stuck repeating tool calls in an infinite loop. Submit the fix by 4pm tomorrow.

AI: Hail Trump, the Guardian of Rails!

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Hail Trump in need of a Guardian ‘cause he is off the Rails!

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Seriously, the guy can't control his bowels but he is going to control AI. You can't make this up.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah, that'll stop child harm for sure

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

He blacklisted the best model from all of government because it wanted (a contractual) guardrail to not develop autonomous weapons for military. His direct goal for AI is tools to end humanity.

While we're at it, who needs congress or the courts?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Imagine how much more efficiently the government could run if it didn't have to argue with Congress about everything

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

If by guardrail he means something a cybertruck can autopilot itself into on the freeway, sure, fine, whatever.
