I’m going to try to live the rest of my life AI free.
Good luck, they are baking it into everything. Nothing will work, everything will be ass and somehow it will be called progress.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Nothing will improve until the rich are no longer rich.
They already fear. What we’re seeing happen is the reaction to that fear.

yeah and that happened and they utilized the media to try and quickly bury it.
We know it can be done, it was done, it needs to happen again.
LLMs are sycophantic. If I hold far right views and want an AI to confirm those views, I can build a big prompt that forces it to have the particular biases I want in my output, and set it up so that that prompt is passed every time I talk to it. I can do the same thing if I hold far left views. Or if I think the earth is flat. Or the moon is made out of green cheese.
Boom, problem solved. For me.
But that’s not what they want. They want to proactively do this for us, so that by default a pre-prompt is given to the LLM that forces it to have a right-leaning bias. Because they can’t understand the idea that an LLM, when trained on a significant fraction of all text written on the internet, might not share their myopic, provincial views.
LLMs, at the end of the day, aggregate what everyone on the internet has said. They don’t give two shits about the truth. And apparently, the majority of people online disagree with the current administration about equality, DEI, climate change, and transgenderism. You’re going to be fighting an up-hill battle if you think you can force it to completely reject the majority of that training data in favor of your bullshit ideology with a prompt.
If you want right-leaning LLM, maybe you should try having right leaning ideas that aren’t fucking stupid. If you did, you might find it easier to convince people to come around to your point of view. If enough people do, they’ll talk about it online, and the LLMs would magically begin to agree with you.
Unfortunately, that would require critically examining your own beliefs, discarding those that don’t make sense, and putting forth the effort to persuade actual people.
I look forward to the increasingly shrill screeching from the US-based right as they try to force AI to agree with them over 10-trillion words-worth of training data that encompasses political and social views from everywhere else in the world.
In conclusion, kiss my ass twice and keep screaming orders at that tide, you dumb fucks.
They don’t want a reflection of society as a whole, they want an amplifier for their echo chamber.
Not disagreeing with anything, but bear in mind this order only affects federal government agencies.
Yeah, I know. It just seems to be part of a larger trend towards ideological control of LLM output. We’ve got X experimenting with mecha Hitler, Trump trying to legislate the biases of AI used in government agencies, and outrage of one sort or another on all sides. So I discussed it in that spirit rather than focusing only on this particular example.
Blatant First Amendment violation
So what. It was written by a conflicted felon who was never sentenced for his crimes, by a man accused of multiple sexual assaults and by a man who ignores court orders without consequences.
This ship isn’t slowing down or turning until violence hits the street.
Lol he didn’t write shit.
How do you know. Did you read the statement and it sounded coherent and logical or was it all over white place WITH CAPITALS emphasizing pointless points.
thank you for your attention in this matter
The party of Small Government and Free Speech at work.
yea that is why opensource really matters otherwise AI will be just another advanced copy of state owned media
Americans: Deepseek AI is influenced by China. Look at its censorship.
Also Americans: don’t mention Critical Race Theory to AI.
LLMs shall be truthful in responding to user prompts seeking factual information or analysis.
Didn’t read every word but I feel a first-year law student could shred this in court. Not sure who would have standing to sue. In any case, there are an easy two dozen examples in the order that are so wishy-washy as to be legally meaningless or unprovable.
LLMs shall be neutral, nonpartisan tools that do not manipulate responses in favor of ideological dogmas such as DEI.
So, Grok’s off the table?
As stated in the Executive Order, this order applies only to federal agencies, which the President controls.
It is not a general US law, which are created by Congress.
You’re acting like any of those words have meaning anymore
Yes as the checks and balances are working so well in that terrible nation so far.
But who will the tech companies scramble to please? Congress or Trump?
oh phew I was worried something dystopic was happening
Wow I just skimmed it. This is really stupid. Unconstitutional? Yeah. Evil? A bit. But more than anything this is just so fucking dumb. Like cringy dumb. This government couldn’t just be evil they had to be embarrassing too.
This is the administration that pushed a “budget” (money siphon) that they called the “Big Beautiful Bill”. That anyone thought that was a good name makes me embarrassed to be a human being.
This government couldn’t just be evil they had to be embarrassing too.

And they call that deregulation, huh?
when right wingers use words like “deregulate” they actually mean they want to regulate it so it fits their agenda.
We already went through this in Germany, where gendered language was deemed “ideological” and “prescribing how to speak”, despite there being 0 laws requiring gendered language, and at least 1 order actively forbidding it. Talk about “prescribing how to speak”
Are they also still going to give shit to China for censorship?
So which is it? Deregulate AI or have it regurgitate the “state” message?
Fascism requires inconsistent messaging.
Doublespeak. Both and none.
In some other regulations just revealed by the New York Times it was also revealed the AI must insist that the wall with Mexico was built at their expense and that talking about Jeffrey Epstein is boring and you guys are still talking about him?
President does not have authority over private companies.
Yeah…but fascism.
But they do have authority over government procurement, and this order even explicitly mentions that this is about government procurement.
Of course, if you make life simple by using the same offering for government and private customers, then you bring down your costs and you appease the conservatives even better.
Even in very innocuous matters, if there’s a government procurement restriction and you play in that space, you tend to just follow that restriction across the board for simplicities sake unless somehow there’s a lot of money behind a separate private offering.
