AI must be free of all regulation except mine!

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

Enshittification of America.

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 1 week 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 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

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

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

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

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?

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

There was exactly one regulation specifically targeting AI companies, a Biden executive order that Trump ended on his first day.

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

[–] nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At this point I just have zero hope for the future, riding this wave straight to hell.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Hell is too kind and polite for the timeline we live in. We'll probably wash up in superhell or something.

[–] kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dumbest administration in history.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

The AI race is about automating fascism for plausible deniability.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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?

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It can be censored for not giving sufficiently MAGAfied answers or acknowledging the existence of things fascists want memory-holed.

It can't be sued for devouring, assimilating and plagiarizing all copyrighted media ever created.

Two very different sorts of regulation.

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.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

*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

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

If "people" = the bro-ligarchs, then sure

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

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/

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

No surprise, deregulation is their solution to everything.

Oh, we doing another race to the bottom?

And then Skynet became aware and impeached Trump

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

cool. cool. cool...

soooo.....when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?

#release the list

[–] Regna@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I seriously thought this was The Onion, and I was like ”Naaaah, at least this time I ain’t gonna bite!”
