They certainly seem to have completely missed Article I. You know, the part that says that the legislature makes the laws? Even if you think restricting AI regulation to the federal government is a good idea, the right way to do it isn't with an executive order to set up a DOJ task force aimed at litigating state AI regulations out of existence based on complex legal theories about interstate commerce. The right way is for Congress to pass a law barring states from regulating AI. This is simpler, cheaper and should invoke public debate about the issue, which is how things are supposed to be done in constitutional republics.

I don't even think Trump is taking this route because he and his advisors don't believe they have the votes for it. I think they're doing it this way because they don't even consider governing through legislation rather than through executive power. Granted that Congress is fairly dysfunctional, but they actually can and do make laws... and the way to fix the dysfunction is to work the system.

He ran on a smaller government platform.. what he meant was Trump rules.

This is exactly what the companies who built his ballroom wanted. One bill to rule them all so they don't have to deal with 50 headaches.

"White House prepares document to help bring the Terminator series to real life."

"States rights!"

"No, not like that!"

These guys have no limits. A supreme court order will get ignored sooner or later. This will trigger a constitutional crisis. Those currently in power will try to do anything they can to keep ignoring the ruling up to and including interring the supreme court justices. Of course, congress could start impeachment proceedings, but they too could be interred. At that point martial law will be declared, voting will be suspended and the guns will start being collected.

You can bet those in power have a hand-pick

Some of us are neither Republicans nor Democrats but would support a strong 10th Amendment with strict observance of Article I limitations.

But nearly all the Democrats and Republicans want to selectively choose which parts of the Constitution to ignore. There is no will for Rule of Law.

The Congressmen get elected on the principle of stealing money from one person to give it to five. That's a guaranteed win in a Universal Suffrage system with no strong moral foundation.

The trick is they inflate the money sup

That all depends if you think AI should be federally managed or not.

Roads are federally managed, in so much as states can't decide you should drive on the left. Similarly, national defence is federally managed because it's be unfair to let (say) California have to deal with an invasion while the rest of the United States sat about waiting for it all to finish, or for it to arrive in their state before they'd respond.

The question then is... should some states be able to pass regulations on the use of AI, or

Haha, "truth" and AI spew ? Let me help you, output of a language model isn't "truth" anyway.

"Guys, I think we really need to violate all of our norms and morals to beat the commies. Maybe some kind of authoritarian communist country. Just for a bit though, I promise we'll go back to democracy later".

We need to compete in the AI slop war? Let them have it. How about we use all that VC and bubble cash to fund healthcare?

So instead we need to allow a compromised federal government to enrich el Bunko; there are a lot of energy projects in need of federal approval, each of which will cost them dearly and allow el Bunko to peg his Grift-O-Meter again.

> Imagine when the internet was getting started if every state was regulating content in a different way?

Open a porn site in Florida or Alabama, this is already and always has been happening. If we want to upend that precedent I'm not opposed but it is precedent already.

Lolz we need to "compete with China"? Why? Because you said so? There are realms we can't compete, rare earths mining and production is one. We already are losing and lost there and that won't change for over a decade or more. Lithium ion batteries, ditto. Electronics ditto.

> We don't need a patchwork of 50+ regimes creating compliance nightmares... Imagine when the internet was getting started if every state was regulating content in a different way?

Then we would have 50 small startups instead of one big one!

And don't forget the startups that would be formed to navigate that patchwork, similar to the way sales tax compliance companies work, or income tax filing companies. This must be a good thing because [1]the IRS has shut down the Direct File program. [slashdot.org]

So what's the downside?

The TDS is real;

Yesterday I got down modded for suggesting that the Anti-vax movement while lately embraced by MAGA; is hardly unique to that brand of politics, simply pointing out the easily observed truth that at least up until the pandemic you could find a lot anti-vaxers in very well-heeled, very granola blue areas, as much as anywhere on the right. I pointed out that RFK wasnt a Republican let alone MAGA until suddenly he and Trump thought they could advance their mutual agendas.

Now you people are going to go an insist that Drunk driving laws were some kinda Republican led thing, sure there were a lot of anti-drug right of main-line conservatives that were on board, but there were as many left of main-line liberals who saw it as public health and safety issue and the two came together to form a large enough coalition to get it done over the objections of the general public at the time. Once again though highly revisionist to claim it was GOP issue.

Ditto for the history of "cooperative federalism" as a concept. The GOP has certainly embraced it, and did so pretty quickly, but certainly did not invent it, that was New Deal Democrats!

Lord knows there are plenty of reasons someone can dislike Trump personally, object to the agenda, etc. However I become pretty unimpressed with most of those arguments because of posts like yours. They are mostly made by people who either are pretty ignorant of our political history, and/or are in some sort of deep reality distortion field where they believe Trump and anyone in his orbit actually invented these tactics, let alone anyone at Heritage. None of them have come up with anything new they are just flipping through their catalog of old grievances and successes alike and looking at what political tools brought them about. Then using them, usually with minimal finesse or competence.

AI is used via internet over state lines, that is federal domain. Congress is tasked with regulating that though.

Sigh. Nevermind. Nothing to see here. Move along Stupid Google keyboard fails yet again.

That's one of those things that never really clicked with me until recently. An EO is the equivalent of a memo from your boss. The worst they can do for ignoring it is fire you.
