    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.”

    I wonder if these guys know that without competition, companies tend to stagnate innovation and instead only focus on profits…

        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?

      It can be censored for not giving sufficiently MAGAfied answers or acknowledging the existence of things fascists want memory-holed.

      It can’t be sued for devouring, assimilating and plagiarizing all copyrighted media ever created.

      Two very different sorts of regulation.

        Well you’d have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don’t like that sort of thing.

        Basically it’s just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn’t enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.

    Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.

    *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

    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.

    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.
