I feel like the whole slow down thing was a back and forth between the AI companies and the government to ensure that the bubble companies get lots of security.

He can't help but take the worst position on every issue.
If they sat him down and explained that, no actually we are just saying that to cover our asses because our financials in no way justify the absolutely insane amount of money investors have pumped in, so we are trying to hold on long enough to pass the buck to the public markets, he would 100% say some garbled stream of consciousness version of that at the next press conference. So they are stuck with him being against it because it sounds weak, which is stupid, but hey the stupid vote won the election.
Lmao tech bros are trying so hard to get out of the AI slop fest pretending it's about safety when in reality it's just a technology that's hit a massive plateau but now we have the trump administration with AI psychosis.
Rich coming from a fucker that said "it's all computer!" like he's never seen technology before. FUCKING DIE ALREADY
I swear half of GOP verdicts and proposals sound exactly like Anal Cunt songs.
"I recruited of Data Centre crafted Gestapo to gun down Trans Persian teenagers" would be a paragraph Seth Putnam would incomprehensibly shriek on stage.
"That bubble is about to pop!"
*wheels in air compressor and duct tape*
I hope their uniforms are even more sassy than the space force.
He hates us all and wants us to die
i think someone's shoved into his skull the notion that with ai he could stay in ~~office~~power forever.
The feeling is mutual. He, however, is willing to kill. You’re just capable of dying.
Fucking chimp with a loaded pistol
He's such a conceited moron, he has no idea how AI works and he KNOWS he doesn't.
No, he is not really that good at self-assessment at all (he's the poster child for explaining the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon) and apparently does think he knows and thinks all we need is a "STRONG AND SMART PRESIDENT".

President Trump lashed out at calls for new AI guardrails and protections on Monday, arguing AI only needs a "STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT" and that AI critics should "BEWARE!"
I mean, I wish we had a smart President in the White House right now. It's hilarious that tiny-d donnie thinks he is both strong and smart, though.
He knows there's money for him in there. That's more than enough to push it.
I'm a power user, and I have no clue how it works. I have to treat it like an autistic intern.
More like sour loser.
Yeah .... let's get dying old fossils with a few years left to regulate what the rest of the humanity will deal with in the next hundred years
People keep feeding him clean food
I've had the kind of day where all I can think is "could they just end the world and just fucking get it over with so we can just start rebuilding?"
So cool that one man thinks he gets to decide for all of America. And all of the cons back him up on that.
What Constitution?
Kind of makes sense that the cons back him up when he's a convicted felon 34 times over.
What's nice about a simple corruption machine like Trump is that he literally just tells you who just bribed him and what industries to avoid.
No one is slowing down AI. They're all just saying that so everyone else will slow down while they scream full steam ahead.
They're saying it because they all know there's diminishing financial returns from it.
Only things these sort understand is force, demand, obey, dominate, strong big mighty monkey...
Let's get em, beat to death the monkey's hording all the bananas
I kind of like the direction all this latest "AI" is going.
I used the "Dog ate my homework" trick at work about how all my templated prompts and history have disappeared from a certain timeframe. My boss even had me open a support ticket with the vendor supplying the LLM. They said it must not be recoverable due to the nature of how AI works. I basically took a 2 week vacation and no one has any fucking clue about how stupid this shit it.
Depending on the tool you can get all of it locally. Claude code stores all the past 30 days locally.
Could you not find a source other than CBS news?
Is that the important part here?
Ya know I kinda hope LLMs collapse in total and just fucken nuke anything that even resembles unproven AI development just because it'd piss these fuckwits off.
I had this conversation yesterday. If you had to choose between an abstract inscrutable AI having all the power on in the world, or any CEO, who would you pick?
There are good reasons why women pick the bear.
I dunno, man, an AI can't be imprisoned or hung. Or eaten.
Is still pick the bear
