Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.
I wonder if these guys know that without competition, companies tend to stagnate innovation and instead only focus on profits…
*Whew* I was just starting to feel anxious that this administration was grossly incompetent and painfully ignorant, but this new approach to *checks notes* . . . letting AI companies steal data so that “we” “win” the “AI race” has really turned that around
Deregulation literally kills people, plus it gave us the ‘08 crisis which we’ve never fully recovered from
And the worst part is that America pulls the rest of the world with it.
We’ve tried nothing but deregulation since Reagan/Thatcher, and it works every time!
how can you deregulate something we have not started to regulate?
The first item in the document basically says that if existing regulations stand in the way of AI supremacy, they must go. Boil the oceans.
Its about the regulation of power plants, its nothing to do with AI.
Basically they’ll allow the use of LLMs in decision making even more. The chatbot kills people? Oopsie, you can’t sue us, or you’re breaking a federal law!
There was exactly one regulation specifically targeting AI companies, a Biden executive order that Trump ended on his first day.
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
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.
Enshittification of America.
What do we “win”?
Hahaha you don’t win anything. The rich win it all.
But, but, but we played the game by their rules.
Even more AI slop.
It’s all smoke and mirrors.
They use religion to “prove” they are right.
They use A.I. to “prove” they are smart.
They use Bitcoin to “prove” they are rich.
They embrace the invisible so you have nothing to complain about.
I seriously thought this was The Onion, and I was like ”Naaaah, at least this time I ain’t gonna bite!”
Neoliberalism 2.0
in that movie preview voice
…in an age of undeniable newspeak comes the latest blockbuster…
Neoliberalism 2
Fakeyconservitivism MAGAFIED!
What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We’re just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.
Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.
But bro we just need a bigger training set bro, just more bit of data and it’ll become real intelligence.
Simple minds demand simple solutions.
The AI race is about automating fascism for plausible deniability.
All deregulation wins you is nobody buying your low quality product.
…can we please have Skynet instead? Please?
The plan is to win a race for the best auto-correct and predictive text generator? What’s the trophy? And how is this being measured, by how much money or results? Because China has DeepSeek and it’s already better on both results and cost - so is there a plan?
These fucking idiots never think of the immediate next line of questions and always fail to be ready for basic details or follow ups. They just say whatever they think it takes for people to like them.
At least the Space Race gave us Velcro and Tang.
Man I hate that idiots run fucking everything now
What do you mean now? This has been going on for many millenniums!
From 2008-2016 we did not have idiots running things. Theres been a very start downhill spiral since 2016
Uuuuh Bush wants a word. He may not be THIS stupid but he earned being called stupid a long time ago.
And I maintain, idiots are in power for far longer than you claim. Just because now there’s a competition, it doesn’t diminish how useless other administrators were.
