Some nuance I read recently: The argument from above is basically that they want Ai research to continue as it has national security value. Therefore, any limitations or regulations to AI research should only happen on a federal level.
The idea is that all states should share the same playing field so that any researchers do not have to treat states differently.
I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit. This would have been the inverse of how a federal government is supposed to work. Rather than keeping individuals from being exploited at the state level, the exploiters are now at the federal level creating policy. They’ve had a plan in place since Trump’s first term, and they don’t want blue states interfering.
Governors of states are already looking to remove federal safety regulations to build small modular nuclear reactors in order to power these dumb fucking data centers they will likely be using to store very unethical surveillance data.
They are also planning to use AI to more efficiently build nuclear reactors. While removing federal oversight and safety regulations that have been in place for 50 years… What could possibly go wrong?
No, that’s the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don’t want any speed bumps from the states
Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there’s talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby
A diversity of regulatory approaches especially in such a complex subject really does need the 50 state laboratory.
In fact because states are smaller markets, it might encourage the development of more smaller companies. A complex regulatory landscape gives an efficiency edge to players who focus product development in specific states.
Anything to keep this shitshow happening in a more democratic way is fine by me. Anthropic and that Altman fellow seem so desperately out of touch with humanity, I welcome any disadvantages we can give them.

I don’t buy it.

i honestly don’t give af about states that like ai fuck them. ai should be abolished everywhere.
