The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.

Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.

Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.

    Again, AMERICA doesn’t want this. This is some dumb shit from a mentally deficient and decrepit old man that somehow got elected under very shady terms by a minority of the country.

        This, at least, is a fact.

        You could have voted Green. You could have voted Marianne Williamson in the Democratic primary. The little power our voters do have they just wasted.

          The 2024 democratic primary was effectively nonexistent because Biden was running for re-election. Don’t be ridiculous.

            The 2024 democratic primary was non-existent for two reasons:

              1. Democrats rig their primaries, and they admitted it in court in Florida.
              1. Dementia isn’t a redline for Democrats and their partisans.

      Beat me to it. Most same Americans don’t want this, it’s the current administration and their moronic lap dogs, and the conglomerates that are paying into Cheeto’s personal accounts to “influence him” that want this. Id hope that most of us realize how insanely idiotic this is.

      Also to, AI anti-regulation 2: electric boogaloo? Like they literally just tried to shoehorn this into the big bullshit bill only for it to get yanked, and that was what, two weeks ago?

        Yup. That’s never going to fly, and even if it does, that doesn’t mean the Executive all of a sudden gets to start telling private companies how they can and can’t operate according to the law. It’s so stupid.

      While I understand what you are saying, let’s not forget that the people who helped the turd get into power were not just those actively voting for him but also those who didn’t vote because “both sides!!”. That’s not “a minority of the country” but actually the majority of it.

          I don’t do that because it wouldn’t be right. Doesn’t matter who did what to me in the past.

          For instance if you were a plumber and you intentionally smashed a piece of furniture while at a clients house, does that mean all plumbers are violently vandalizing people’s homes ,no.

          Because adult human beings know that the actions of one do not define the actions of all.

          I am not changing this position. You can get the last word, throw an insult at me or do nothing.

          Choice is yours but I’m done. I don’t have to defend the correct position. It is correct.

        LOL

        Sure, Jan.

        We should stop it. Period. I’ll snap my non-billionaire fingers and just stop it. Like I’m Dorothy and clicking my ruby slippered heels together.

        Most Americans are working three jobs and 100 hours a week to be able to rent a roach-infested studio and keep their kids from starving.

        AI isn’t even in the top ten of issues that most Americans have the time or energy to confront in a meaningful way.

        But let’s not allow the reality of life in this country to interfere with a good, silly Internet screed.

          You just described a country full of miserable people with nothing to lose who are STILL doing fuck all.

          Was it your intent to bring their cowardice into starker relief, or to pretend that somehow they’re excused from acting like humans with agency because… “it’s hard?”

      What matters more? What AMERICA wants, or what the administration enacts in to policy? You’re missing the point if you’re arguing about my phrasing.

        The phrasing means everything.

        Example: “Trump wants…”

        VS

        Example: “America wants…”

        Big difference. Executive Orders are a memo, not law. It’s disturbing that I have to keep saying this and explaining this.

            I’m arguing that you’re intentionally trying to play semantics with phrasing and claim it doesn’t matter, when it absolutely does, and everyone in here is explaining to you why. That’s all.

              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.

                    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.

        That…what???

        No, your choice of phrasing conveys your message.

        If you’re argument is not against the American people, but rather the administration, then your wording is, well, wrong.

            No. You’re dodging the argument. You chose to phrase it that way. And pretending that’s just some incidental thing with no meaning honestly is about the dumbest response I’ve seen in a while.

            You have made the argument that it is the American people, not the administration. You. Not anybody else.

                  Based on your post history, I think we’re on the same side. I understand that this administration does not represent all of America. Unfortunately though, the semantics of it all don’t really matter. Trump got the majority vote, and that’s what matters. The effects of his policies matter. From the perspective of the rest of the world, this is what (the majority of) America has chosen. I don’t like it either.

                    Friend, seriously…listen to the very clear reason being used to explain the deficiency of your argument here.

                    The way you phrase something absolutely changes the meaning of its point. You can’t say something and then try to justify that the ends are the same, so it’s cool. Literally why people use the phrase “the ends don’t justify the means”.

                    If Trump comes out and says some dumb shit, you can’t just say “AMERICA WANTS THIS”, because that is obviously untrue.

                    It would work the same way with 4 people in a car, and the driver wants hamburgers. The entire car doesn’t want hamburgers, just the driver of the car. How you want to argue the outcome or explanation of that very much decides on how you intend to phrase the situation. All you know right now is that the driver wants a hamburger, so it would disingenuous to say everyone wants hamburgers.
