What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @brianmerchant read his Action Plan and executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"

Excerpt: "The plan recommends deleting 'references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and #ClimateChange' in federal risk management guidance and prohibiting the federal government from contracting with large language model (LLM) developers unless they 'ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias' — a standard it hasn’t yet clearly defined. It says the US must 'reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape' to win the AI race."

President Donald Trump's AI Action Plan gives industry lots to smile about.

@axios reports: "Trump's move could be the first of many long-feared efforts by governments around the world to require AI systems to toe political lines, setting up endless conflicts between tech firms and rulers eager to promote agendas and quash dissent."

New #Executive Order - Preventing #Woke #AI in the #Federal #Government - whitehouse.gov/presidential-ac pervasive destructive of these ideologies is so-called “diversity, equity, inclusion” #DEI. In #AI context, DEI includes suppression distortion of factual info about #race or #sex; manipulation of racial or sexual representation in model outputs; incorporation of concepts like critical race theory, transgenderism, unconscious bias, intersectionality, systemic #racism #discrimination #race #sex

And just like that, the June Anderson Women’s Center at Middle #Tennessee State #University was ‘disappeared’ after our President ‘bent the knee’ and complied without #resistance to the #DEI decree issued by #DonaldTheDeplorable and implemented by the #BananaRepublicans in the #TNleg.

What is the June Anderson Women’s Center at #MTSU ?

A representative questionnaire survey of 986 American citizens shows most Americans want a more ethnically and religiously diverse society than the one they live in today.

"It is important to understand that the idea of a great replacement does not reflect the majority view. Our data shows that only 1.1% want an ethnically homogeneous United States, and only 3.2% want a religiously homogeneous society."

Morning, all,

there's nothing to see here... Of course Neuralink is a 'disadvantaged business' - it's owned and run by Leon Musk!
