This is not innovation.
This is institutionalized automation of tyranny.
This is how, within a state of algorithmic governance, code quickly replaces constitutional law as the mechanism for control.
Trump’s latest legislative initiative—a 10-year ban on AI regulation buried within the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—strips state and local governments of the ability to impose any guardrails on artificial intelligence until 2035.
Despite bipartisan warnings from 40 state attorneys general, the bill passed the House and awaits Senate approval. It is nothing less than a federal green light for AI to operate without oversight in every sphere of life, from law enforcement and employment to healthcare, education, and digital surveillance.
Musk is right to be anti-BBB. Is that Big Beautiful Bill or Build Back Better? To me it looks like the same old motherWEFer shite anyway you look at it. Whoever thought that automating the state would be a good idea ought to meet a .50 caliber mounted on a robot dog, in action! Or at least watch a Terminator movie or three. BTW, who would you trust to train the AI and chose the algorithms to run the state? I’m not trusting of singular or small group of anybody.

While I agree that the BBB is just WEF crap under another name... the idea that you can regulate AI is really dumb. What regulate means is pick winners and losers. But here is the more important aspect. Getting people all worked up about AI and arguing about what to do about is a waste of time. A distraction from what we should be focusing on. Being prepared. Building strong families and communities that are resilient.

AI really isn't what people should fear. They should fear bad people using technology. AI is just algos. Much more complex algos. There's no will. Its not gonna kill us all. But people using it could and probably will try.
reply
Most people don’t realize that, though. A lot of them think that AI is sentient or at least semi-sentient and is conscious. They just don’t understand coding and what a machine can do and what it can’t do. It is all in the coding that the coders put into the machines and what they trained them on. People made the decisions, whoever they may be.

Welcome to the new form of communism, controlled with so calked AI. I warned about this in one of my old posts.

It will probably work just as well as the old forms, in other words, death, destruction, starvation and misery on the way to failure.

I know. I'm expecting an AI cult to start saying it's a god and worship it. May already be happening.

What do you call the motherWEFers?
Algorithmic governance refers to the use of machine learning and automated decision-making systems to carry out functions once reserved for human beings: policing, welfare eligibility, immigration vetting, job recruitment, credit scoring, and judicial risk assessments.
Imagine if AI starts to use DNA information to categorize people, choose who should be born, live or die, what job one should have, etc. etc.
This would make nazism look like a childish prank

Peter Thiel once said "Free market is for losers" and "Monopoly is the condition of every successful business."
Maybe the same logic will apply to democracy and politics
