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.
Sorry America voted for this twice. You do not get to disown this after the fact.
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.
As a US citizen, prove to me that most Americans don’t want this.
Yeah, I see the protests, even in my Trump-loving town.
But that’s it. People holding signs.
I don’t see aggressive action. I don’t see the necessary violence - yeah I said it.
I’m moving out of the country because everyone I’ve tried to rally says they’re too busy, they don’t have time, they care but they don’t care that much, they think everything will work out, or they believe it isn’t as bad as the news says.
The people I’ve voted for and elected just sit on their hands and do fuck all.
I’m 110% for fighting for and defending what I used to believe in, but not when literally all evidence and signs point to nobody else giving a shit.
Someone call me when you’re ready to legitimately strategize about how to topple this fascist regime.
Zero presidents have ever lost as much support for anything at any time in the history of this country: https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker
Not only is this a wildly unpopular president, it’s a president who has shed 35-50% of their own voters. It’s proof positive that you are wrong.
Brave of you to assume America will ever have free and fair elections again.
They haven’t for a while. It’s just going to get more obvious.
Thank you for the information. I just hope it leads to action. Poll results to me are just someone standing around waving a sign.
These fascists didn’t rise to power by following all the rules, and they won’t exit or lose power by us following the rules. It’s a sad truth.
We’ve seen this before.
They know how it ends.
Nice, my red state is net disapprove.
I look forward to the big swing in the mid terms then based off your information
As a u s citizen, you’re wrong. End of story most don’t want it. Trump wants it. No one voted for trump because of a I. So stop lying to people here.
Oh and since you’re so gungho to do it, why aren’t you taking the steps above?
Because it seems awful like you’re a Trumper trying to stir violence
As stated, I’ve tried rallying in my area and nobody seems interested. I’m also at a disadvantage if I just go at it alone because I’m not white.
America absolutely wants this. If they didn’t they would stop it. Period.
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?”
Wow. We got a certified genius here, folks. Somebody get this fool a microphone.
Totally.
They should be brave, like you’re brave, and levying meaningless critiques on the Internet.
Cool. Keep on being complicit. The rest of us are watching.
That’s all you’re doing.
You waiting for citizens of some other country to come do something about the problem you’ve enabled (after decades of shitty responses to us telling you this exact thing was going to happen)?
No, I’m telling you that you’re being a ridiculous troll berating people just so you can feel better about your lousy situation
Sure thing, Jan.
Your valuable input is most appreciated. Have a pleasant afternoon.
You’re right, everybody without the money to make the trip should travel 2000 miles (3218 km) to commit suicide by cop. That’s sensible.
You sure do have a low opinion of yourself and your fellow countrymen.
Correct.
Thank you anyone who profiles entire people with stereotypes and outright lies is a bigot, no matter what they say
So it’s a stereotype to describe what a country is literally doing … okay.
It’s a stereotype to ascribe traits to an entire group of people when you say “America” or “Americans” in The context given. Otherwise one would say , the United States government.
Of course , that requires effort.
What traits are being ascribed to all Americans here?
Like how some americans see the Middel East, Russia, China, Israel, Palestine, Mexico etc etc etc…
Its not nice when its going the other way, is 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.
I just, I do not understand why this upsets people so much.
I work for a company that does things I don’t want them to do all the time. I’ve never felt like someone saying “[the company] wants to do [this thing]” was ever referring to me specifically whatsoever.
What if they said employees of your company all support a thing? That would include you.
It’s absolutely insane to say all Americans support Trump when he has a net negative approval rating pretty much everywhere, including red states. Look at the opinion polls, most people don’t like what’s going on. Yet for some reason, people claim the majority of us like him for some reason.
But no one is doing this. America is a state.
But they do for countries, when they say “Americans do X” when it’s just the administration doing it and it’s unpopular.
*America. Look at the title again.
I gotta be honest, I don’t understand what you’re fighting for here. That people in Finland will have a slightly better opinion of you? Mexico will know you’re one of the good ones?
Russia has done a lot of disagreeable things, I’ve got to imagine its people are pretty upset about it.
You are right. I don’t disagree at all. But racist mentallity is insane, and that is what I’m calling out. As do you.
And racist vigits have started downvoting
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.
So do something about it. If you just sit there and post “I don’t want this” on the Internet they’re just going to keep doing it.
Like what?
There’s not really anything I can reasonably do, other than sit tight and teach my kids how to be excellent people.
He won by a 1.6% margin, buddy.
Not in my state, and since we don’t have a national popular vote, the only thing that’s relevant for my vote is the spread in my state.
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.
You know, this might actually be really bad politics.
Trump is not the only person at the top. He’s kind of a lame duck, actually: he just does whatever Miller says. The only time he steps in is when he’s personally insulted by something because he desperately wants everyone to know he’s a very special boy.
I do take issue with democrats blaming everything the republicans are up to on Trump specifically, as if the party might return to normal once he dies.
It probably will return somewhat to normal, assuming public opinion continues on its trajectory. People overwhelmingly don’t like Trump, so anyone affiliated w/ him are going to hurt in the next couple elections unless public opinion turns around.
I don’t know what “normal” looks like, but it’s probably somewhere between Trump and Bush. I’m still not a fan, but moving away from Trump is going to be a net win.
Well, this is what I’m asking for, so I sure hope so.
So, keep in mind, republican voters are not upset with Trump because they’ve decided they no longer want a border wall. The architects of Project 2025 don’t need anything from Trump but political power, which they already have.
The next election cycle, if it’s real, I do imagine will swing back, but it cannot just “swing back,” it needs to deal with the sickness plaguing the US. That sickness is the republican party. That sickness is the republican voter.
I disagree, and this just smacks of tribalism.
The problem is people wanting to force others into their worldview, parties are just a tool to get that done. The real solution is ending the two party system so people can express themselves better, not to replace one problem with another.
I did not use the word “law”. So you’re arguing that EO’s have no actual effect? That is blatantly false: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-dei-purge-is-hitting-nasa-hard/
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.
You’re saying that EO’s are not policy?
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.
Executive orders only affect federal agencies. If they were laws, we’d all be arrested.
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.
How do you refer to the machinations of a state?
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.
I did not use the phrase “the American people”.
Wow.
Just…wow.
You honestly think that’s an argument?!?
Goodbye
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.
