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

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.

You’re saying that EO’s are not policy?
just_another_person@lemmy.world 5 days ago
EO’s are policy insofar as they can affect the Executive Branch and what it controls, and nothing else. The history of the use is mainly for “the spirit” of something, but only in the past 20 years or so has been weaponized to be used for trying to attempt to guide actual policy. Never in the way Trump has tried to use them, which is “law by decree”.
The joke is they know it’s bullshit and meaningless. This all happened in his first term. 220 total, 157 shot down in court, 27 revoked. It’s an office memo at best. Biden even tried to do thenstudent debt cancellation through EO, and it got shot down in court.
