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.
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?
And who was in charge of among sure that voter base was educated?
isnt it already deregulated asf/
I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
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
cool. cool. cool…
soooo…when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?
#release the list
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
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.
Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.
And then Skynet became aware and impeached Trump
Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.
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.
The LinkedIn post about the AI deregulation announcement was a who’s who of assholes bleating about how great it would be; CEOs, COOs, from Open AI, Duke Energy, Fascists Anonymous.
The Open AI persons comment was such sausage it had to be his own shitty AI
The joke of Roko’s Basilisk is that we really do have a group of people who seem to subscribe to it, often with dogmatic religiosity.
I can’t help but wonder if these spoiled rotten dipshits have fully turned their brains over to the bot-farms and LLMs and are now living out the fantasy of a Killer Robot From The Future dangling heaven and hell over their heads until they build this impossible machine.
Most of them are accelerationists. They want the world to collapse, because they want to be kings of their own little nation states and they all think that they’re going to come out ahead simply because they have money and because “if I’ve been so successful up until now with pesky governments just imagine what will happen without them.”
