Trump has insisted the executive order is aimed at combatting “birth tourism,” immigrants who come to the United States briefly for the purpose of having a child.

This assumes that birth tourism—if it even exists in any non-trivial amount of babies—is a problem. Why would it be a problem? I don't get it.

The administration is always bitching about not enough babies... Make up your damned mind!

...or perhaps be more explicit about your true intentions?

These dudes could do pushups without using their arms.

Um... Where would it go? I've got about 30 models on my machine right now and I download new ones to try out all the time.

Are you suggesting that they'd all just magically disappear one day‽

To be fair, most conservatives since forever have believed that the president really does have some sort of magic oil price controller. That's why they bought so many of those, "I did that!" stickers of Biden and stuck them to gas pumps everywhere.

The president doesn't have a magical power to reduce gas prices but I do believe Trump has proven that a president does have the power to make them go up. Drastically.

Assume all the big AI firms die: Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Poof! They're gone!

Here would be my reaction: "So anyway... have you tried GLM-7? It's amazing! Also, there's a new workflow in ComfyUI I've been using that works great to generate..."

Generative AI is here to stay. You don't need a trillion dollars worth of data centers for progress to continue. That's just billionaires living in an AGI fantasy land.

New Achievement: Unlocked!

Either a lot more tools got a lot better,

That's what it was. Even the free, open source models are vastly superior to the best of the best from just a year ago.

People got into their heads that AI is shit when it was shit and decided at that moment that it was going to be stuck in that state forever. They forget that AI is just software and software usually gets better over time. Especially open source software which is what all the big AI vendors are building their tools on top of.

We're still in the infancy of generative AI.

Patents on software shouldn't exist!

Well, if you were a pussy you wouldn't have asked this question 👍
