    Oh, we doing another race to the bottom?

      No, we can go deeper.

    All deregulation wins you is nobody buying your low quality product.

    The AI race is about automating fascism for plausible deniability.

    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.

      they removed all stem research, so no more of that.

      But bro we just need a bigger training set bro, just more bit of data and it’ll become real intelligence.

    What do we “win”?

      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.

      Hahaha you don’t win anything. The rich win it all.

        But, but, but we played the game by their rules.

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

    • JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Its just a proposal to remove restrictions on the building of fossil fueled power plants, plus a bit of AI generated slop about winning the AI race.

        It’s unlikely any of this will ever be profitable, the only one making profit from this right now is NVIDIA. Everyone else’s costs dwarf revenue, even just operational costs, not even counting capital expenditure to set this stuff up. None of these companies have a path to profitability, and most of the little revenue is coming from services built upon other services that can afford to loose money due to investors.

        At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.

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

    *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

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

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

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

      source
  • HubertManne@piefed.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

    source
    • JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Its about the regulation of power plants, its nothing to do with AI.

      source
    • brianpeiris@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

    • ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

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

    source
    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
      • CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The explanation I saw for this is that fascist rhetoric changes every 5 minutes so AI just can’t keep up with it.

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

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

    source
    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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
