So how much did this cost?
False, nobody can ever lose respect for Ted Cruz. There’s none to lose.
I only use AI to make shitty furry porn. It needs to be regulated.
ah Ted Cruz… the infected pimple in the ass that is the GOP
99 problems but this bitch ain’t one.
All my homies hate Raphael
This time
? I don’t see them trying to sneak an AI regulation ban again anytime soon. This is about the strongest bipartisan support against anything I can recall in my life.
Many of the people that voted against this are to blame for many of the other problems we are about to be hit with.
However, of all the scary shit in that bill, this was one of the most concerning to me. Specifically in terms of irreversibility to the damage it would do, the creation of national AI surveillance databases being built across the country, and the kind of environmental and safety regulations that will have to be ignored in order to power them.
The closest thing to hope, I hold for my own state, is that I just hope whatever lesson we ended up serve as in future history books isn’t on the same scale or worse than Chernobyl.
I can breathe a little easier knowing that the entire country won’t be facing a mandatory federal law demanding they be more like Louisiana in terms of deregulation in order to make a terrible idea actually profitable, regardless of how many people it hurts.
As in Cruz wasn’t a problem this time.
He’s an eternal cunt and will be a problem again.
Ted Cruz. The ULTIMATE bottom.
Nothing wrong with bottoming…
Sure the fuck is when Trump is your top.
It’s not bottoming when there’s no consent. Then it’s rape.
Cruz totally consents in this case, but as a generality, bottoming is juuuuust fine…
Would you rather I said cuckoldry instead?
You’re taking this way too seriously…
lol
No, but there is something wrong with Raphael Cruz.
“Everyone hated that”
If you want to see how ignorant voters can be, there is no better evidence than Senator Cruz.
I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.
- He is a multimillionaire
- His father owns an oil company in Canada.
- He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
- He attended Harvard University and Princeton
- His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs
Fighting the elite? What a joke 🤦🤦🤦.
You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.
I honestly don’t understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn’t vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.
But states rights? What happened to states rights?
states’ rights to opress people was the full thought
States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it’s wrong to allow something in one state, it’d be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but someone states didn’t. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.
Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz’s tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.
lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote
Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.
The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.
No, that’s the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don’t want any speed bumps from the states
Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there’s talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby
I don’t buy it.
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.
I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit. This would have been the inverse of how a federal government is supposed to work. Rather than keeping individuals from being exploited at the state level, the exploiters are now at the federal level creating policy. They’ve had a plan in place since Trump’s first term, and they don’t want blue states interfering.
Governors of states are already looking to remove federal safety regulations to build small modular nuclear reactors in order to power these dumb fucking data centers they will likely be using to store very unethical surveillance data.
They are also planning to use AI to more efficiently build nuclear reactors. While removing federal oversight and safety regulations that have been in place for 50 years… What could possibly go wrong?
i honestly don’t give af about states that like ai fuck them. ai should be abolished everywhere.
Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn’t Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport
TedRafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!deleted by creator
Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.
Definitely.
Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz’s family moved to Texas when he was 4. He’s definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.
Cool whattaboutism but it doesnt change the political reality.
I dated a Canadian once and you’d have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.
Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?
What’s the fascism problem you’re talking about?
There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually losing elections. So yeah, there’s some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

Wow you sure know a lot about Canada. You must have been here a long time, huh? Surely your opinion is based on experience and a deep understanding of our culture. There’s no way that opinion is based on internet discourse.
Canadians are very well aware of how we’ve treated and continue to treat Indigenous people. There’s an active movement towards reconciliation and self governance. Canadians are not ignorant of the history or the current situation. You are.

I think we can all agree that the uber rich are the issue and not each other.
Hey, don’t blame us for Murdoch. He’s Australian, he only bought US citizenship in his fifties in order to spread his hate better.
… Saying that becoming American helped with that doesn’t really strengthen my case here, does it?

Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.
The hypocrisy is palpable.

Stop giving broadband funds globally, it’s just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.
Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these “providers” getting free money for shit they dont even do.
It’s Biden’s fault.
Of course. Also, thanks Obama!
Don’t forget to blame dei and Hillary’s emails!
Damn those buttery males!
The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
🤣🤣🤣
So… Ted voted against his own bill?
