    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.

    I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?

    If “people” = the bro-ligarchs, then sure

    This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.

    And then Skynet became aware and impeached Trump

    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 to ever destabilize and rule a country.

    Meanwhile AI is in such a state that if a Nazi sneezes in its general direction it becomes Mecha-Hitler

    • entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You mean the Nazi who owns it and was messing with its settings for months before it did that? That same Nazi?

    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      And Mecha-Hitler still 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.

    Deregulation just for AI companies. Its still theft if a individual does it.

    source
    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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

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

    No surprise, deregulation is their solution to everything.

    Deregulation literally kills people, plus it gave us the ‘08 crisis which we’ve never fully recovered from

      We’ve tried nothing but deregulation since Reagan/Thatcher, and it works every time!

      And the worst part is that America pulls the rest of the world with it.

    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.

    how can you deregulate something we have not started to regulate?

    source
    • ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.

    What do we “win”?

        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.

    The AI race is about automating fascism for plausible deniability.

    I think I'm with Warren G and Nate Dogg on this one, you need to regulate.

    *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

    source
  • ChicoSuave@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.
