The US is a fucking joke. Completely captured by corporate greed. It’s not a democracy and hasn’t been for a long time.
Plutocracy!
May the highest bidder win.
I’d say it’s more of a kakistocracy right now.
A bit of both.
We know! You don’t have to rub it in…😞
Please rub it in, until we go away or improve.
It might change some folks unchecked insanity.
At the very least we could stop letting senile, narcissistic, psychopath children decide everything.
No one should be allowed to be this dumb, unchecked.
Land votes and some people were constituionally sub human…when was is democratic?
As always they were just polished turds.
Never was.
“But muh sTaTeS rIgHtS!”
Unless it’s a blue state!
Bundling issues together like this should not be allowed. It’s done by everyone, and usually done to hold the actual good parts hostage. Oh you want to prevent asbestos from being used because it’s killing people? Well the only way you get that is by also allowing employers to hire 4 year olds.
tbf, I don’t know how feasible it is to remove asbestos without employing 4 year olds.
Yeah, and sneaking in such a thing at the last minute is also antidemocratic.
Not really not-democratic, just shitty.
"automated decision systems "
“IF X THEN Y” satisfies this description.
Soooo basically just take the handbrake off practically every chunk of software ever written then?
When the marketing went too far that it brought AI the wrong meaning.
To be clear, the bill prevents regulation. It’s not a regulatory ban, it is a ban on regulation.
Thank you
Could we just…call everything AI then and it cant be regulated. Cause that would be hilarious.
Someone needs to spin up an AI that continuously generates pictures that annoy Donald Trump and posts them to all social media, it should actively learn what makes him and his supporters feel the saddest and optimise for those attributes.
It’s funny but sad. Vague, selectively-enforcable laws are the point.
We can’t just call something AI to prevent regulation.
They can, though. With “laws” like this, the government can freely pick and choose who is punished and who is protected.
the fuckening is upon us, ladies and gentlemen
its hilarious how this party would tought state rights. only rights for things they can’t currently get themselves at the federal level at any particular time.
Deepseek biding their time
Exactly… “Deepseek is a threat against our freedoms!!” also “No one can make any laws to put any restrictions on any AI models”. Cool.
Fine, I won’t complain when Yudkowski’s followers take matters into their own hands.
Son of a bitch!
This is going to kill the content creation industry. Imagine a torrent client that has a built in neural network training module. You are now allowed to access any IP protected content and inspect it on your home TV for dataset building. What the neural network does is irrelevant, it can have a couple of layers and be trained with a residual amount of the CPU load. Happy torrenting :)
You sure this isn’t a poison pill?
A “decade-long” ban can be rescinded by any future Congress that has the votes.
What I can’t get around with is people expecting AI that was developed by not respecting IP rights to suddenly begin respecting their presumed IP rights (not that most are not just accepting them away through the associated EULAs) with what they generate using them.
