Or maybe I don’t want to, because this sounds dangerous to me at this time.

Don't regulate it except to push political goals sure seems like a recipe for success.

Exactly. You said it. Anyone serious knows contradiction = lies. Words are cheap, actions matter.

    I read the PDF. The "Remove Red Tape and Onerous Regulation Recommended Policy Actions" don't cite to any specific existing regulations. It just references executive orders that vaguely demand any such regulations be eliminated. So it bears repeating: what red tape?
    - lovich 1y ago
      The red tape that they said was there. If you need further details than that, then I don’t think you have grokked the style of governance that this administration is operating under. Edit: that’s a general “you”, not you specifically

      Given that this extends to the power plants for AI data centers, the question is have you tried to make a nuclear or coal power plant any time in the past decade? I haven't, personally, but I hear there's a lot.

      Well whenever Republicans bang on about red tape, it's usually stuff like: * Anything remotely pro-environment * Anything remotely pro-labor * Anything not covered by either of those that attempts to stop someone who has a lot of money from doing A Thing

most of these are vibe signaling, like Communist Party of China has been doing in past year, except this won't work as effective here as in China, not even close, because the US is not authoritarian enough to mobilize every level of the govt and the economy by just empty propaganda slogans.

  >this won't work as effective here as in China, not even close, because the US is not authoritarian enough to mobilize every level of the govt and the economy by just empty propaganda slogans. Have you been under a rock for the last 6 months as Trump tells Xi Jinping to hold his beer??
  - amradio1989 1y ago
    Comparing Trump to Xi Jinping is an unfunny joke. Americans have lost the plot on what true authoritarianism really looks like. America has no chance vs China in the AI race precisely because the President of the CCP has far more power in his country than the President of the US. Its not even close.

      I'm not a fan of the growing "The US needs to become more autocratic before the bad guys get us" narrative that AI proselytizers keep sharing.
    - leptons 1y ago
      Okay, so you have not been paying attention to current events. The US is now a full fascist autocracy. Nothing trump does while in office can be prosecuted. There are masked police in the streets arresting anyone they want. There simply are no more consequences for breaking the law and ignoring the courts. You may not think the US is authoritarian on the level of China, but it's catching up very quickly.

  The answer is obvious: it never has been about free speech. Just replace "free speech" with "hate speech" in all of these missives [1][2][3].
