White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation
White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation
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/
Gee, who could have seen this coming?
May 12th, 2025: The White House Strategy to Profit from AI Deregulation & the Consequences for Civil Liberties & Human Rights
At this point I just have zero hope for the future, riding this wave straight to hell.
Hell is too kind and polite for the timeline we live in. We'll probably wash up in superhell or something.
GOP deregulating shit. It will not end well and the fucker Ronnie Reagan proves it.
isnt it already deregulated asf/
Dumbest administration in history.
Enabled by the dumbest voter base in history
And who was in charge of among sure that voter base was educated?
So what you're saying is only the right kind of people should be allowed to vote?
I do think though that there should be some sort of basic test to prove that you actually understand the various policies an administration is pushing, not at a deep level but just the most basic surface level that you could get from a 10-minute Google search or by watching a single video. Just prove that you actually know what you're voting for because otherwise why even vote?
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?
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.
Well you'd have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don't like that sort of thing.
Basically it's just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn't enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.
I was trying to read the EO last night and unless I'm fucked up I thought the EO pertained to just stuff the government has anything to do with? AI they would fund or aquire etc please correct me if I'm wrong I got lost in the sauce last night
I'm sure Skynet will reward their choice with a quick death.
its less hyper intelligent machine overlord exterminating humanity, and more chatbots that cannot run a lemonade stand being tasked with managing the economy, freaking out and filling their digital diapers, and deleting everyone's social security numbers
I wonder if this “de-regulation” will allow or prevent AI videos of trump wandering naked through the desert?
cool. cool. cool...
soooo.....when are they going to unveil the Epstein list?
#release the list
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.
Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.
If "people" = the bro-ligarchs, then sure
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.
This won’t win anything. This’ll just allow USA corps to allow their products to become as shitty as possible.
Enshittification of America.
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.
And profitably shitty.
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 burning investor money built upon other services that are also burning investor money, or temporary shenanigans like Microsoft trading OpenAI free compute time at their data centers in exchange for IP, or coreweave using their GPUs as collateral against loans to buy more GPUs that get collateralized in turn.
At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.
And then Skynet became aware and impeached Trump
We will all lose our jobs.
Just like US won on air travel, health insurance and all other wonderfully deregulated industries.
No surprise, deregulation is their solution to everything.
Meanwhile AI is in such a state that if a Nazi sneezes in its general direction it becomes Mecha-Hitler
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.
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.
How very Reagan of them
they're gonna make it illegal to not use chatbots huh
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.
But bro we just need a bigger training set bro, just more bit of data and it'll become real intelligence.
they removed all stem research, so no more of that.
Simple minds demand simple solutions.
Man I hate that idiots run fucking everything now
What do you mean now? This has been going on for many millenniums!
From 2008-2016 we did not have idiots running things. Theres been a very start downhill spiral since 2016
how can you deregulate something we have not started to regulate?
Its about the regulation of power plants, its nothing to do with AI.
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.
There was exactly one regulation specifically targeting AI companies, a Biden executive order that Trump ended on his first day.
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!
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.
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
Oh, we doing another race to the bottom?
No, we can go deeper.
Yes, daddy?
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.
At least the Space Race gave us Velcro and Tang.
I seriously thought this was The Onion, and I was like ”Naaaah, at least this time I ain’t gonna bite!”
I wonder if these guys know that without competition, companies tend to stagnate innovation and instead only focus on profits...
All deregulation wins you is nobody buying your low quality product.
Well... at least we're on the Shadowrun timeline.
My CPU is a neuralnet processor - a learning computer
What's the Stockton Rush?
Exactly what we need in a bubble. There is no there there.. okay, no profit there; just a big bottomless money pit and a bunch of tech edgelords fantasizing.
...can we please have Skynet instead? Please?
Neoliberalism 2.0
in that movie preview voice
...in an age of undeniable newspeak comes the latest blockbuster....
Neoliberalism 2
Fakeyconservitivism MAGAFIED!
AI must be free of all regulation except mine!
