What's the Stockton Rush?
post
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
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.”
Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.
I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
Meanwhile AI is in such a state that if a Nazi sneezes in its general direction it becomes Mecha-Hitler
You mean the Nazi who owns it and was messing with its settings for months before it did that? That same Nazi?
And Mecha-Hitler keeps pumping out re-writes of liberal news articles and history textbooks, which means it is STILL too woke for their tastes.
The explanation I saw for this is that fascist rhetoric changes every 5 minutes so AI just can't keep up with it.
Epstein is a great example. Literally months ago, you had the hogs all hooting over "Lock Hillary Up!" wrt to Bondi's teasing of a secret list of criminals and crooks. Now we're supposed to pretend Jeffery and his Lolita Express flights are all Fake News?
Reminds me of the first few days after the J6 riots, as AM Radio talking heads scrambled to figure out whether they were Based MAGA Champions or Fifth Columnist Antifa Infiltrators trying to make Trump look bad.
At this point I just have zero hope for the future, riding this wave straight to hell.
The only "wins" for this current US regime are negative records: most cruel, most degenerate, most stupid, most racist, and so on. And the "grand prize" for these wins will be war (civil or conventional) plus a spot in history among the worst people ever to destabilize and rule a country.
how can you deregulate something we have not started to regulate?
There was exactly one regulation specifically targeting AI companies, a Biden executive order that Trump ended on his first day.
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!
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.
Dumbest administration in history.
Enabled by the dumbest voter base in history
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?
GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.
Man I hate that idiots run fucking everything now
What do you mean now? This has been going on for many millenniums!
From 2009-2016 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.
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.
What do we "win"?
Hahaha you don't win anything. The rich win it all.
Even more AI slop.
*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
Wait they aren't going to regulate it? Didn't he just sign some other shit saying it can't be woke? Which is it?
I was trying to read the EO last night and unless I'm fucked up I thought the EO pertained to just stuff the government has anything to do with? AI they would fund or aquire etc please correct me if I'm wrong I got lost in the sauce last night
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.
And then Trump releases an EO saying that AI systems can't be "woke" and must toe the party line on all things. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/preventing-woke-ai-in-the-federal-government/
cool. cool. cool...
soooo.....when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?
#release the list
I wonder if these guys know that without competition, companies tend to stagnate innovation and instead only focus on profits...
I seriously thought this was The Onion, and I was like ”Naaaah, at least this time I ain’t gonna bite!”
The race to develop uncontrollable superintelligent processes for which the goal of maintaining Earth’s biosphere is a competitive disadvantage? No humans win this race.
Oh, we doing another race to the bottom?
Gee, who could have seen this coming?
May 12th, 2025: The White House Strategy to Profit from AI Deregulation & the Consequences for Civil Liberties & Human Rights
I'm sure Skynet will reward their choice with a quick death.
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.
Exactly what we need in a bubble. There is no there there.. okay, no profit there; just a big bottomless money pit and a bunch of tech edgelords fantasizing.
