The title of the post, as opposed to the title of the executive order, is very misleading: this executive order only applies to the AIs that are allowed to be procured and used by the federal government, not to all AI in general.
(Having said that, the underlying motivation behind it is still nonsense, just as it has been for all of the other executive orders.)
lol … if the AI race were a 100 meter sprint … the US just entered the race with the rest of the world by first swinging a tire iron to their lead runner’s knees.
Does that slant big tech in that direction because they want to do business with the government? Every computer with copilot is compromised the second microsoft says we don’t want to make 2

Unfortunately, I agree that is a very fair concern.
Ah yes, that is calming. Because this regime has a reputation of restraint.
If the objective of the administration had been to place restrictions on all AI in general, heedless of restraint, then it could have just as easily written an executive order which did that instead. However, that is not what they did.
My intent is not to calm anyone, but merely to clarify. Honestly, I view this executive order as just being a relatively minor extension of previous (terrible) executive orders to say, “Oh, and this applies to AI too.”
Couple things…
First, expanding existing edits to cover more things will get far less resistance and be harder to fight than the just making one heavy handed edict.
Second, this also creates a dependency that wasn’t there before. He’s poisoning the well for anyone who might follow.
I do not think that they are playing 5D chess in this particular executive order, since they are just taking their existing policies banning the federal government from anything having to do with DEI and extending them to AI, rather than doing something brand new.
Also, the good news is that, just as it only took a stroke of a pen to create these executive orders, it also will only take a stroke of a pen for anyone who follows to get rid of them.
Hey Trump! I’m trans and I’m still fucking here, you son of a bitch!
Not you, OP, you’re great and we’re thrilled to have you here.
I’m trans too and I think my biggest takeaway from this EO is that they need to release the Epstein files
I’m cisgender and I think my biggest takeaway from this EO is that they need to release the Epstein files
RELEASE THE FILES YOU JABRONI
Thank you.

And you better stay around. Existence is resistance! ✊
Weren’t they just pushing for no regulations of AI? Can’t even be consistent!
I thought that was trying to have it be so that States couldn’t regulate on their own. But yeah, control is the name of the game.
Right wingers ALWAYS contradict
Is this a Joke? I am serious. I cannot tell any more.
Its ether not the onion or a boring dystopia worthy.
So this is what free speech is all about?
One of the most pervasive and destructive of these ideologies is so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI).
Ok, Hitler.
Does AI have views? Anyway, I would throw up this message if questioned about these subjects because you don’t want to pollute your AI with bigoted bullshit.
Supposedly the following is a real problem:
For example, one major AI model changed the race or sex of historical figures — including the Pope, the Founding Fathers, and Vikings — when prompted for images because it was trained to prioritize DEI requirements at the cost of accuracy.
Given the administration’s immense reputation for veracity—the biggest we have ever seen—I see no reason to doubt this.
GOP is all about free market, right? So let the free market decide who wants a model that gives out information that is weighted in one direction or another. If you want accuracy, you aren’t going to buy into a model that skews things in a different direction. Oh right, they only talk about free market when it works in their best interests…
This executive order only sets policy for AI use by the federal government, not for how AIs must behave for the entire country.
Still, it takes a lot of work and resources to design and train a model, so American AI companies may self-censor everywhere so that they don’t have to do the work twice, once for the US Government and once for general use.
Hopefully they’ll just wrap uncensored models in additional filters when they’re serving the US Government, or add an instruction to answer as a Nazi would, and the rest of us can avoid those Nazified versions. But I don’t trust the AI techbros.
I agree that is a legitimate concern, though I would hope that even in that case there would be less popular alternative models that people could use, just like how those of us who want to stay away from the big social networks can use Lemmy. This would not save us from AI chatbots subtly reprogramming the population just like how Facebook did with its algorithm, though…

Ew, i wouldn’t let any one of those boot lickers near my *
Another AI model refused to produce images celebrating the achievements of white people, even while complying with the same request for people of other races.
Hahaha, owned.
No but seriously this is crazy witch hunt wtf.
The propaganda machines of tomorrow
Today I learned Vikings did not have women.
You could only become a Viking through conversion.
I hate that orange shitgibbon so fucking much.
The hyperscalers will probably just slap a bandaid on their models and implement guardrails that can be easily evaded
Good luck controlling open source models felon
You mean Chinese models. There are no useful LLMs that are trained in an open source way. It’s too expensive. There are only “open weight” models.
