    “no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”

      We didn’t just not do what all those movies/books warned us to, we made it illegal to take any precautions whatsoever.

      Such a stupid fucking timeline.

        The bill that makes it illegal for precautions is snuck inside megabill with 100 other bad provisions so no debate occurs on it.

        FYI, the US empire is evil. Like media, AI must be used to protect the Empire’s evil.

          I simply don’t understand how “vote to fund thing A” gets conflated with “also pass ultra-evil rule B”. How hard is it to vote on each issue separately and keep shit like this isolated from unrelated legislation?

            The process itself must serve evil. As a process, single issue bills permit a clear stand on good/evil with debate on the issue to convince/justify vote. Multi issue bills permit a horse trade of my evil interests to be included for your evil interest to also be included.

            It can backfire though. Too big a deal can get some to leave the corruption consensus over 1 provision included. Everyone is given more power to grandstand against evil.

            Congress is hopelessly broken, gridlocked and unable to pass policy on its own merit. That’s how we end up with quadrillion page omnibus bills every year. It’s a failed institution, and it’s been this way since at least Reagan.

      Why would they need money? Automating systems removes interpersonal trust and facilitates 1984-esque media and data control. Deregulation means they can use it as a handwavy excuse for a lot of major things, and also impact the information those systems give you.

      No Republican has ever given two shits about state rights, personal rights or even human rights in general. They never stop screeching about it but they don’t give a shit.

      They only care about their own pockets, the end.

    A “decade-long” ban can be rescinded by any future Congress that has the votes.

    Bundling issues together like this should not be allowed. It’s done by everyone, and usually done to hold the actual good parts hostage. Oh you want to prevent asbestos from being used because it’s killing people? Well the only way you get that is by also allowing employers to hire 4 year olds.

      tbf, I don’t know how feasible it is to remove asbestos without employing 4 year olds.

      Yeah, and sneaking in such a thing at the last minute is also antidemocratic.

    "automated decision systems "

    “IF X THEN Y” satisfies this description.

    Soooo basically just take the handbrake off practically every chunk of software ever written then?

    If you want to stay on the bleeding edge you’ve got to be a reversal of Europe, which means allowing innovation and competition. Hence why VT is nearly 70% US.
