Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change

  I did not use the word “law”. So you’re arguing that EO’s have no actual effect? That is blatantly false: scientificamerican.com/…/trumps-dei-purge-is-hitt…

    I’m arguing that you’re intentionally trying to play semantics with phrasing and claim it doesn’t matter, when it absolutely does, and everyone in here is explaining to you why. That’s all.

      Okay. My argument is that the semantics don’t matter because what matters is policy.

        And since you did use the word “policy”, I did mention that EO’s aren’t laws. It’s a memo. He has no control via EOnof anyone except the people in his purview. Not private companies, not researches, not law, not state governments.

    Executive orders only affect federal agencies. If they were laws, we’d all be arrested.

  You know, this might actually be really bad politics.

  Trump is not the only person at the top. He’s kind of a lame duck, actually: he just does whatever Miller says. The only time he steps in is when he’s personally insulted by something because he desperately wants everyone to know he’s a very special boy.

  I do take issue with democrats blaming everything the republicans are up to on Trump specifically, as if the party might return to normal once he dies.

    It probably will return somewhat to normal, assuming public opinion continues on its trajectory. People overwhelmingly don’t like Trump, so anyone affiliated w/ him are going to hurt in the next couple elections unless public opinion turns around.

    I don’t know what “normal” looks like, but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush. I’m still not a fan, but moving away from Trump is going to be a net win.

      Well, this is what I’m asking for, so I sure hope so.

      but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush.

      So, keep in mind, republican voters are not upset with Trump because they’ve decided they no longer want a border wall. The architects of Project 2025 don’t need anything from Trump but political power, which they already have.

      The next election cycle, if it’s real, I do imagine will swing back, but it cannot just “swing back,” it needs to deal with the sickness plaguing the US. That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.

        That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.

        I disagree, and this just smacks of tribalism.

        The problem is people wanting to force others into their worldview, parties are just a tool to get that done. The real solution is ending the two party system so people can express themselves better, not to replace one problem with another.
