“no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”
Someones taking money for this.
We didn’t just not do what all those movies/books warned us to, we made it illegal to take any precautions whatsoever.
Such a stupid fucking timeline.
The bill that makes it illegal for precautions is snuck inside megabill with 100 other bad provisions so no debate occurs on it.
FYI, the US empire is evil. Like media, AI must be used to protect the Empire’s evil.
I simply don’t understand how “vote to fund thing A” gets conflated with “also pass ultra-evil rule B”. How hard is it to vote on each issue separately and keep shit like this isolated from unrelated legislation?
Congress is hopelessly broken, gridlocked and unable to pass policy on its own merit. That’s how we end up with quadrillion page omnibus bills every year. It’s a failed institution, and it’s been this way since at least Reagan.
The process itself must serve evil. As a process, single issue bills permit a clear stand on good/evil with debate on the issue to convince/justify vote. Multi issue bills permit a horse trade of my evil interests to be included for your evil interest to also be included.
It can backfire though. Too big a deal can get some to leave the corruption consensus over 1 provision included. Everyone is given more power to grandstand against evil.
If only they protected my rights like they protect the rights of corporations.
Won’t any think of the shareholders? They suffer too. -s
That would be extremely out of character for the GOP, why would you even expect that from them?
Whatever happened to states rights?
They ditched that as soon as they won the election
They decided Colorado couldn’t decide their own ballot eligibility before the last general election, tba. Our supreme court made that call for the orange garbage muncher.
Fascists only use “rights” for themselves, and then they will rub it into your face that they can do something you can’t…

Welp, pack it up kids, this one’s cooked
Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?
Why would they need money? Automating systems removes interpersonal trust and facilitates 1984-esque media and data control. Deregulation means they can use it as a handwavy excuse for a lot of major things, and also impact the information those systems give you.
I believe at this level it’s called favors.

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!”
No Republican has ever given two shits about state rights, personal rights or even human rights in general. They never stop screeching about it but they don’t give a shit.
They only care about their own pockets, the end.
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
Did chatgpt propose this?
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.
one small win for local AI, one giant loss for the school system (and others).
Huge loss for the environment, big win for AI stocks!
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 :)
